Tyre, that prosperous city, has strong defenses
    including an earthen rampart around her thick walls;
She mounds up silver like dust,
    and gold is as common as dirt in the street.
But the Lord will steal her treasures
    and sink the ships of her livelihood in the depths of the sea.
    Tyre, that watery city, will be consumed by unquenchable fire.
Ashkelon will witness the fall of Tyre from her own coast and quake with fear;
Gaza, not far to her south, will writhe in great agony;
    Ekron will, too, because all hope will be lost.
Gaza’s monarchy will end when her king dies,
    and Ashkelon’s streets will be left empty.
