Ezekiel 26:1-21
In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:“ Son of man, because Tyre has said about Jerusalem,‘ Aha, the gateway of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I will become rich, now that she has been destroyed,’therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am against you, O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock.She will be a place where fishing nets are spread, surrounded by the sea. For I have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD. She will become plunder for the nations,and her daughters who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.“ For this is what the sovereign LORD says: Take note that I am about to bring King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people.He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you.He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons.He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses. Your walls will shake from the noise of the horsemen, wheels, and chariots when he enters your gates like those who invade through a city’s broken walls.With his horses’ hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will tumble down to the ground.They will steal your wealth and loot your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. Your stones, your trees, and your soil he will throw into the water.I will silence the noise of your songs; the sound of your harps will be heard no more.I will make you a bare rock; you will be a place where fishing nets are spread. You will never be built again, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD.“ This is what the sovereign LORD says to Tyre: Oh, how the coastlands will shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, at the massive slaughter in your midst!All the princes of the sea will vacate their thrones. They will remove their robes and strip off their embroidered clothes; they will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground; they will tremble continually and be shocked at what has happened to you.They will sing this lament over you:“‘ How you have perished– you have vanished from the seas, O renowned city, once mighty in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror!Now the coastlands will tremble on the day of your fall; the coastlands by the sea will be terrified by your passing.’“ For this is what the sovereign LORD says: When I make you desolate like the uninhabited cities, when I bring up the deep over you and the surging waters overwhelm you,then I will bring you down to bygone people, to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand in the land of the living.I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the sovereign LORD.”

Numbers 32:33-38
So Moses gave to the Gadites, the Reubenites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph the realm of King Sihon of the Amorites, and the realm of King Og of Bashan, the entire land with its cities and the territory surrounding them.The Gadites rebuilt Dibon, Ataroth, Aroer,Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran as fortified cities, and constructed pens for their flocks.The Reubenites rebuilt Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,Nebo, Baal Meon( with a change of name), and Sibmah. They renamed the cities they built.

Joshua 13:8-14
The other half of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, just as Moses, the LORD’s servant, had assigned them.Their territory started from Aroer( on the edge of the Arnon Valley), included the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plain of Medeba as far as Dibon,and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border.Their territory also included Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah–the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei.( He was one of the few remaining Rephaites.) Moses defeated them and took their lands.But the Israelites did not conquer the Geshurites and Maacathites; Geshur and Maacah live among Israel to this very day.However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the sacrificial offerings made to the LORD God of Israel, as he instructed them.

Malachi 1:2-4
“ I have shown love to you,” says the LORD, but you say,“ How have you shown love to us?”“ Esau was Jacob’s brother,” the LORD explains,“ yet I chose Jacoband rejected Esau. I turned Esau’s mountains into a deserted wasteland and gave his territory to the wild jackals.”Edom says,“ Though we are devastated, we will once again build the ruined places.” So the LORD who rules over all responds,“ They indeed may build, but I will overthrow. They will be known as the land of evil, the people with whom the LORD is permanently displeased.

Isaiah 23:1-18
Here is a message about Tyre: Wail, you large ships, for the port is too devastated to enter! From the land of Cyprus this news is announced to them.Lament, you residents of the coast, you merchants of Sidon who travel over the sea, whose agents sail overthe deep waters! Grain from the Shihor region, crops grown near the Nile she receives; she is the trade center of the nations.Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea says this, O fortress of the sea:“ I have not gone into labor or given birth; I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”When the news reaches Egypt, they will be shaken by what has happened to Tyre.Travel to Tarshish! Wail, you residents of the coast!Is this really your boisterous city whose origins are in the distant past, and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?Who planned this for royal Tyre, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the dignitaries of the earth?The LORD who commands armies planned it– to dishonor the pride that comes from all her beauty, to humiliate all the dignitaries of the earth.Daughter Tarshish, travel back to your land, as one crosses the Nile; there is no longer any marketplace in Tyre.The LORD stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook kingdoms; he gave the order to destroy Canaan’s fortresses.He said,“ You will no longer celebrate, oppressed virgin daughter Sidon! Get up, travel to Cyprus, but you will find no relief there.”Look at the land of the Chaldeans, these people who have lost their identity! The Assyrians have made it a home for wild animals. They erected their siege towers, demolished its fortresses, and turned it into a heap of ruins.Wail, you large ships, for your fortress is destroyed!At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the typical life span of a king. At the end of seventy years Tyre will try to attract attention again, like the prostitute in the popular song:“ Take the harp, go through the city, forgotten prostitute! Play it well, play lots of songs, so you’ll be noticed!”At the end of seventy years the LORD will revive Tyre. She will start making money again by selling her services to all the earth’s kingdoms.Her profits and earnings will be set apart for the LORD. They will not be stored up or accumulated, for her profits will be given to those who live in the LORD’s presence and will be used to purchase large quantities of food and beautiful clothes.
