- Et dabo te in limpidissimam petram, siccatio sagenarum eris, nec ædificaberis ultra, quia ego locutus sum, ait Dominus Deus.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ δώσω σε λεωπετρίαν, ψυγμὸς σαγηνῶν ἔσῃ· οὐ μὴ οἰκοδομηθῇς ἔτι, ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐλάλησα, λέγει Κύριος.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
More, for seventy years, Isaias xxiii. 15. The people returned at the same time as the Jews. (The year of the world 3468.) Soon after, Zacharias (chap. ix.) speaks of Tyre as then subsisting. It was very strong in Alexander's time, (who took it with difficulty, as Antigonus did eighteen years later) and had a very extensive commerce when St. Jerome wrote. But all this must be understood of New Tyre. The old city never regained much splendour. (Calmet)
It is still in ruins. A modern traveller was struck with the completion of this prophecy, beholding a few miserable fishermen drying their nets on the spot!
