“Tyre built herself a stronghold,and heaped up silver like the dust,and fine gold like the mire of the streets.”
Zechariah 9:3 (WEB)
Context Reading
1A revelation.Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach,and will rest upon Damascus — for the eye of manand of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh — 2and Hamath, also, which borders on it,Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise. 3Tyre built herself a stronghold,and heaped up silver like the dust,and fine gold like the mire of the streets. 4Behold, the Lord will dispossess her,and he will strike her power in the sea;and she will be devoured with fire. 5Ashkelon will see it, and fear;Gaza also, and will writhe in agony;as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed;and the king will perish from Gaza,and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
