Ezekiel 26:14

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?

17 And they will take up a ^alamentation for you, and say to you:

O renowned city,
Who was ^bstrong at sea,

Who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants!

18 Now ^athe coastlands tremble on the day of your fall;

19 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you,
