Ezekiel 27:27-36
Your wealth, merchandise, and goods, your sailors and captains, those who repair your leaks, those who barter for your goods, and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.The countryside shakes at the sound of your sailors’ cries.All those who handle an oar disembark from their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea stand on the shore.They raise their voices over you and cry out bitterly. They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes.They shave their heads because of you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They weep over you with deep anguish and bitter mourning.In their wailing they lament for you, mourning over you: Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods.Now you are shattered by the sea in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people within you have gone down.All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands are appalled at you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.Those who trade among the peoples mock you; you have become an object of horror and will never exist again.”

Isaiah 23:1-15
An oracle against Tyre: Wail, ships of Tarshish, for your haven has been destroyed. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon; your agents have crossed the seaon many waters. Tyre’s revenue was the grain from Shihor— the harvest of the Nile. She was the merchant among the nations.Be ashamed Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken:“ I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”When the news reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish over the news about Tyre.Cross over to Tarshish; wail, inhabitants of the coastland!Is this your jubilant city, whose origin was in ancient times, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth?The Lord of Hosts planned it, to desecrate all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.Overflow your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer anything to restrain you.He stretched out His hand over the sea; He made kingdoms tremble. The Lord has commanded that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed.He said,“ You will not rejoice anymore, ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will have no rest!”Look at the land of the Chaldeans— a people who no longer exist. Assyria destined it for desert creatures. They set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They made it a ruin.Wail, ships of Tarshish, because your fortress is destroyed!On that day Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years— the life span of one king. At the end of 70 years, what the song says about the prostitute will happen to Tyre:

Ezekiel 26:17-21
Then they will lament for you and say of you: How you have perished, city of renown, you who were populated from the seas! She who was powerful on the sea, she and all of her inhabitants inflicted their terror.Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are alarmed by your demise.”For this is what the Lord God says:“ When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,then I will bring you down to be with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the underworld like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or display your splendor in the land of the living.I will make you an object of horror, and you will no longer exist. You will be sought but will never be found again.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
