“Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets.”
Zechariah 9:3 (BSB)
Context Reading
1This is the burden of the word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach and Damascus its resting place — for the eyes of men and of all the tribes of Israel are upon the LORD — 2and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd. 3Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets. 4Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire. 5Ashkelon will see and fear; Gaza will writhe in agony, as will Ekron, for her hope will wither. There will cease to be a king in Gaza, and Ashkelon will be uninhabited.
