Tyre built herself a fortification and piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud of the streets!

as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre and Sidon, though they consider themselves to be very wise.

Nevertheless the Lord will evict her and shove her fortifications into the sea – she will be consumed by fire.

Ashkelon will see and be afraid; Gaza will be in great anguish, as will Ekron, for her hope will have been dried up. Gaza will lose her king, and Ashkelon will no longer be inhabited.
