12 They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the ^amidst of the water.

13 ^aI will put an end to the sound of ^byour songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.

14 ^aI will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God.

15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not ^ashake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you?

16 Then all the ^aprinces of the sea will ^bcome down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; ^cthey will sit on the ground, ^dtremble every moment, and ^ebe astonished at you.
