“And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.”
She shall become a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord God, and she shall become a spoil to the nations. Tyre's former glory as a commercial hub will be inverted: instead of a center of maritime commerce, it will become a place where fishermen spread nets. This humiliation—from urban sophistication to utilitarian maritime labor—demonstrates the complete reversal of status that divine judgment accomplishes. The phrase 'I have spoken' underscores the certainty and finality of the judgment.
