The Lord Protects His House

This is the divine revelation.

The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach
    and will rest on Damascus
and also Hamath, which borders on it,
    and Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

        and gold like mud in the streets.

    and on Tyre(D) and Sidon,(E) though they are very skillful.
Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
    she has heaped up silver like dust,
    and gold like the dirt of the streets.(F)
