They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock. She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations, and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’ For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops. He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you. He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes. His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots. The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water. So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard. I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’ This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst? All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you. Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples! Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’ For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you, then I will bring you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living. I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.” |
| 10 | Ezekiel 32:30 | All the leaders of the north and all the Sidonians are there; they went down in disgrace with the slain, despite the terror of their might. They lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bear their shame with those who descend to the Pit. |
Jeremiah 25:22 Summary
Jeremiah 25:22 talks about the kings of Tyre and Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands across the sea, who will face God's judgment. This means that God is in control of all nations and leaders, and He will hold them accountable for their actions, just like He does with individuals (as seen in Romans 14:12). The Bible reminds us that God is the King of all kings and Lord of all lords (1 Timothy 6:15), and we should respect and obey Him. By recognizing God's sovereignty, we can find comfort and peace in His plan for the world, even when things seem uncertain or chaotic (Psalm 46:1-11).
Frequently Asked Questions

The kings of Tyre and Sidon were rulers of powerful city-states in the ancient world, known for their wealth and trade, as seen in Isaiah 23:1-18 and Ezekiel 26:1-28:26.
What are the coastlands across the sea?
The coastlands across the sea refer to regions beyond the Mediterranean, including parts of Greece, Asia Minor, and other areas, as mentioned in Isaiah 66:19 and Romans 15:24.
Why are these kings and regions listed in Jeremiah 25:22?
These kings and regions are listed because they, like others in the surrounding verses, will face God's judgment for their sins, as warned in Jeremiah 25:15-38 and echoed in Revelation 20:12-15.
How does this verse relate to God's plan for His people?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy about God's judgment on the nations, which ultimately points to His plan to redeem and restore His people, as seen in Jeremiah 30:1-31:40 and supported by verses like Isaiah 43:1-7.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 25:22
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon,.... Two very ancient cities in Phoenicia, frequently mentioned together in Scripture, being near each other.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 25:22
And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, All the kings of Tyrus - the petty kings of the various dependencies of Tyre.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:22
Tyrus was a strong city upon the borders of the tribe of Asher, , a very rich city, and a kingdom, with the king of which (who was Hiram) Solomon in his time traded much, . Isaiah prophesied its ruin, ; so did Ezekiel, ,29: it was destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar, . Zidon was nigh to it, therefore we shall ordinarily find Tyre and Zidon joined together in Scripture: both Isaiah and Ezekiel, as well as this prophet, prophesied their ruin. By the isles beyond the sea, some understand Greece and Italy; others Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete; but others think Nebuchadnezzar never conquered these, and rather understand those parts of Syria that coasted upon the midland sea.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:22
Jeremiah 25:22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,Ver. 22. And all the kings of the isles.] As Cyprus, Rhodes, and the Cyclades, subdued also by the Babylonian, saith Jerome, Rabanus, and Vatablus.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:22
(22) The isles which are beyond the sea.—Better, island. The Hebrew word is in the singular, and is properly, as in the margin, a “region by the sea-side”—a “coast-land,” and thus wider in its extent than our “island.” Here the position in which it occurs tends to identify it either with Cyprus or the coast of Cilicia, or Phœnician colonies generally in the Mediterranean. Cyprus seems the most probable of these.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:22
Verse 22. Tyrus and - Zidon] The most ancient of all the cities of the Phoenicians. Kings of the isles which are beyond the sea.] As the Mediterranean Sea is most probably meant, and the Phoenicians had numerous colonies on its coasts, I prefer the marginal reading, the kings of the region by the sea side.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 25:22
22. Zidon] the ordinary form of the name in the O.T. Cp. Jeremiah 27:3, Jeremiah 47:4. Sidon, as the Greek form, is that which occurs in the N.T. isle] mg. coastland, lit. where a mariner betakes himself for refuge or rest; hence used of the colonies planted by Phoenicians on the shores of the Mediterranean.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 25:22
The isles - Rightly explained in the margin; it probably refers here to Cyprus.
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 25:22
22. Kings of Tyrus, etc. The plural is, in Jeremiah 25:18; Jeremiah 19:3; Jeremiah 13:13, used to include the present kings and their successors.
