Isaiah 23:1-7
This message came to me concerning Tyre: Wail, you trading ships of Tarshish, for the harbor and houses of Tyre are gone! The rumors you heard in Cyprus are all true.Mourn in silence, you people of the coast and you merchants of Sidon. Your traders crossed the sea,sailing over deep waters. They brought you grain from Egypt and harvests from along the Nile. You were the marketplace of the world.But now you are put to shame, city of Sidon, for Tyre, the fortress of the sea, says,“ Now I am childless; I have no sons or daughters.”When Egypt hears the news about Tyre, there will be great sorrow.Send word now to Tarshish! Wail, you people who live in distant lands!Is this silent ruin all that is left of your once joyous city? What a long history was yours! Think of all the colonists you sent to distant places.

Ezekiel 27:26-36
“ But look! Your oarsmen have taken you into stormy seas! A mighty eastern gale has wrecked you in the heart of the sea!Everything is lost— your riches and wares, your sailors and pilots, your ship builders, merchants, and warriors. On the day of your ruin, everyone on board sinks into the depths of the sea.Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror.All the oarsmen abandon their ships; the sailors and pilots stand on the shore.They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning.As they wail and mourn over you, they sing this sad funeral song:‘ Was there ever such a city as Tyre, now silent at the bottom of the sea?The merchandise you traded satisfied the desires of many nations. Kings at the ends of the earth were enriched by your trade.Now you are a wrecked ship, broken at the bottom of the sea. All your merchandise and crew have gone down with you.All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.’”

“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am your enemy, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the waves of the sea crashing against your shoreline.They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down its towers. I will scrape away its soil and make it a bare rock!It will be just a rock in the sea, a place for fishermen to spread their nets, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign Lord. Tyre will become the prey of many nations,
