1. The oracle of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrachand Damascus is its resting place.For the Lord has an eye on mankindand on all the tribes of Israel,
2. and on Hamath also, which borders on it, Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
3. Tyre has built herself a rampartand heaped up silver like dust,and fine gold like the mud of the streets.
4. But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessionsand strike down her power on the sea,and she shall be devoured by fire.
5. Ashkelon shall see it, and be afraid;Gaza too, and shall writhe in anguish;Ekron also, because its hopes are confounded.The king shall perish from Gaza;Ashkelon shall be uninhabited;
