ESVEnglish Standard Version

and on Hamath also, which borders on it,

Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.

Tyre has built herself a rampart

and heaped up silver like dust,

and fine gold like the mud of the streets.

But behold, the Lord will strip her of her possessions

and strike down her power on the sea,

and she shall be devoured by fire.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

and on Hamath too, which borders on it,

and on Tyre and Sidon, 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.

But the Lord will take away her possessions

and destroy her power on the sea,

and she will be consumed by fire.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

and also against Hamath, which borders it,

as well as Tyre and Sidon,

though they are very shrewd.

Tyre has built herself a fortress;

she has heaped up silver like dust

and gold like the dirt of the streets.

Listen! The Lord will impoverish her

and cast her wealth into the sea;

she herself will be consumed by fire.

NLTNew Living Translation

Doom is certain for Hamath,

near Damascus,

and for the cities of Tyre and Sidon,

though they are so clever.

Tyre has built a strong fortress

and has made silver and gold

as plentiful as dust in the streets!

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

and also Hamath, which borders on it;

Tyre and Sidon—yes, they are very wise!

Tyre has built a fortification for itself,

and it heaped up silver like dust,

and gold like the mud of the streets.

Look! The Lord will drive it out

and will hurl its outer ramparts into the sea,

and it will be consumed by fire.

KJV 1900King James Version

And Hamath also shall border thereby;

Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.

And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold,

And heaped up silver as the dust,

And fine gold as the mire of the streets.

Behold, the Lord will cast her out,

And he will smite her power in the sea;

And she shall be devoured with fire.
