1 A prophecy:

The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak

and will come to rest on Damascus—

for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel

are on the Lord—

2 and on Hamath too, which borders on it,

and on Tyre and Sidon, though they are very skillful.

3 Tyre has built herself a stronghold;

she has heaped up silver like dust,

and gold like the dirt of the streets.

4 But the Lord will take away her possessions

and destroy her power on the sea,

and she will be consumed by fire.

1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach,

And Damascus shall be the rest thereof:

When the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the Lord.

2 And Hamath also shall border thereby;

Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

3 And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold,

And heaped up silver as the dust,

And fine gold as the mire of the streets.

4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out,

And he will smite her power in the sea;

And she shall be devoured with fire.

1 This is the message from the Lord against the land of Aram and the city of Damascus, for the eyes of humanity, including all the tribes of Israel, are on the Lord.

2 Doom is certain for Hamath,

near Damascus,

and for the cities of Tyre and Sidon,

though they are so clever.

3 Tyre has built a strong fortress

and has made silver and gold

as plentiful as dust in the streets!

4 But now the Lord will strip away Tyre’s possessions

and hurl its fortifications into the sea,

and it will be burned to the ground.

1 The burden of the word of the Lord—

Against the land of Hadrach,

And Damascus its resting place

(For the eyes of men

And all the tribes of Israel

Are on the Lord);

2 Also against Hamath, which borders on it,

And against Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

3 For Tyre built herself a tower,

Heaped up silver like the dust,

And gold like the mire of the streets.

4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out;

He will destroy her power in the sea,

And she will be devoured by fire.

1 This message is the word of the Lord.

The message is against the land of Hadrach

and the city of Damascus.

The tribes of Israel and all people

belong to the Lord.

2 The message is also against the city of Hamath, on the border,

and against Tyre and Sidon, with their skill.

3 Tyre has built a strong wall for herself.

She has piled up silver like dust

and gold like the mud in the streets.

4 But the Lord will take away all she has

and destroy her power on the sea.

That city will be destroyed by fire.

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting-place (for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah); 2 and Hamath, also, which bordereth thereon; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very wise. 3 And Tyre did build herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and on Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel;) 2 and also on Hamath which bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise. 3 And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets. 4 Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.

1 This is the divine revelation. 

The Lord’s word is against the land of Hadrach 

and will rest on Damascus 

2 and also Hamath, which borders on it, 

and Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. 

(The eyes of humanity and of all the tribes of Israel 

are on the Lord.)

3 Tyre built itself a fortress. 

It piled up silver like dust 

and gold like mud in the streets. 

4 The Lord will take away its possessions. 

He will throw its wealth into the sea 

and burn the city down. 

1 An Oracle

The word of the Lord

is against the land of Hadrach,

and Damascus is its resting place—

for the eyes of men

and all the tribes of Israel

are on the Lord —

2 and also against Hamath, which borders it,

as well as Tyre and Sidon,

though they are very shrewd.

3 Tyre has built herself a fortress;

she has heaped up silver like dust

and gold like the dirt of the streets.

4 Listen! The Lord will impoverish her

and cast her wealth into the sea;

she herself will be consumed by fire.

1 The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach

and will rest upon Damascus.

For to the Lord belongs the capital of Aram,

as do all the tribes of Israel;

2 Hamath also, which borders on it,

Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

3 Tyre has built itself a rampart,

and heaped up silver like dust,

and gold like the dirt of the streets.

4 But now, the Lord will strip it of its possessions

and hurl its wealth into the sea,

and it shall be devoured by fire.

1 An oracle. The word of Yahweh is against the land of Hadrach,

and Damascus is its resting place.

For to Yahweh belongs the eye of humankind,

and all the tribes of Israel,

2 and also Hamath, which borders on it;

Tyre and Sidon—yes, they are very wise!

3 Tyre has built a fortification for itself,

and it heaped up silver like dust,

and gold like the mud of the streets.

4 Look! The Lord will drive it out

and will hurl its outer ramparts into the sea,

and it will be consumed by fire.

1 This is the Lord’s message

against the land of Hadrach.

He will judge Damascus.

That’s because all of the tribes of Israel look to him.

So do other people.

2 The Lord will judge Hamath too.

It’s next to Damascus.

He will also punish Tyre and Sidon

even though they are very clever.

3 Tyre’s people have built a fort for themselves.

They’ve piled up silver like dust.

They have as much gold as the dirt in the streets.

4 But the Lord will take away everything they have.

He’ll destroy their power on the Mediterranean Sea.

And Tyre will be completely burned up.

1 The burden of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach, with Damascus as its resting place (for the eyes of men, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward the Lord),

2 And Hamath also, which borders on it;

Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

3 For Tyre built herself a fortress

And piled up silver like dust,

And gold like the mire of the streets.

4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her

And cast her wealth into the sea;

And she will be consumed with fire.
