Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken who was the gates of the people: she is turned to me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; build up, build up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Because of the day that comes to lay waste all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remains: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
Concerning the Ammonites, thus says the LORD; Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
How the city sits solitary that was full of people! how she has become like a widow! She who was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how she has become one who pays tribute!
To the men of the east along with the territory of the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
For thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have clapped your hands, and stamped with your feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your contempt against the land of Israel;
Yea, and what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the land of Philistia? will you repay to me a recompense? and if you recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;
