Ezekiel 27:27-36
Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise, Your seamen and your sailors, Your repairers of leaks, your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are in you, With all your contingent that is in your midst, Will fall into the heart of the seas On the day of your overthrow.At the sound of the cry of your sailors, The pasture lands will shake.All who handle the oar, The seamen and all the sailors of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the land,And they will make their voice heard over you And cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads, They will wallow in ashes.Also they will shave themselves bald for you And put on sackcloth; And they will weep for you in bitterness of soul With bitter mourning.Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a song of mourning for you And sing a song of mourning over you:‘ Who is like Tyre, Like her who is silent in the midst of the sea?When your merchandise went out from the seas, You satisfied many peoples; With the abundance of your wealth and your merchandise You enriched the kings of the earth.Now that you are broken by the seas In the depths of the waters, Your merchandise and all your company Have fallen in the midst of you.All the inhabitants of the coastlands Are appalled at you, And their kings are horribly afraid; They have a troubled look.The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; You have become terrified And you will cease to be forever.’ ” ’ ”

Isaiah 23:1-15
The pronouncement concerning Tyre: Wail, you ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the seaAnd were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.Be ashamed, Sidon, For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,“ I have neither been in labor nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor raised virgins.”When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish over the report of Tyre.Pass over to Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland.Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to bring her to colonize distant places?Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?The Lord of armies has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty, To despise all the honored of the earth.Overflow your land like the Nile, you daughter of Tarshish, There is no more restraint.He has stretched His hand out over the sea, He has made the kingdoms tremble; The Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.He has said,“ You shall not be jubilant anymore, you crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.”Behold, the land of the Chaldeans— this is the people that did not exist; Assyria allocated it for desert creatures— they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.Wail, you ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold is destroyed.Now on that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

Ezekiel 26:17-21
And they will take up a song of mourning over you and say to you,‘ How you have perished, you inhabited one, From the seas, you famous city, Which was mighty on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who imposed her terror On all her inhabitants!Now the coastlands will tremble On the day of your downfall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be horrified at your passing.’ ”For this is what the Lord God says:“ When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you remain in the lower parts of the earth, like the ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will put glory in the land of the living.I will cause you sudden terrors and you will no longer exist; though you will be sought, you will never be found again,” declares the Lord God.
