Tyre built itself a fortress.
    It piled up silver like dust
        and gold like mud in the streets.
Adonay will take away its possessions.
    He will throw its wealth into the sea
        and burn the city down.
Ashkelon will see this and be afraid.
    Gaza will also be in great pain,
        also Ekron, because its hope will fade.
            Gaza will lose its king.
    Ashkelon will no longer be lived in.
