Yesaya 23:14

23:14 Wail, you large ships, ¹ 

for your fortress is destroyed!

Yehezkiel 25:2

25:2 “Son of man, turn toward ²  the Ammonites ³  and prophesy against them.

Yehezkiel 26:4

26:4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil ⁴  from her and make her a bare rock.

Zakharia 9:3-4

9:3 Tyre built herself a fortification and piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud of the streets! 9:4 Nevertheless the Lord will evict her and shove her fortifications ⁵  into the sea – she will be consumed by fire.

[23:14]  ¹ tn Heb “ships of Tarshish.” See the note at v. 1.

[25:2]  ² tn Heb “set your face toward.”

[25:2]  ³ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon.” Ammon was located to the east of Israel.

[26:4]  ⁴ tn Or “debris.”

[9:4]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew word חַיִל (khayil, “strength, wealth”) can, with certain suffixes, look exactly like חֵל (khel, “fortress, rampart”). The chiastic pattern here suggests that not Tyre’s riches but her defenses will be cast into the sea. Thus the present translation renders the term “fortifications” (so also NLT) rather than “wealth” (NASB, NRSV, TEV) or “power” (NAB, NIV).
