Zechariah 9:3

The Burden against Israel’s Enemies

2and also against Hamath, which borders it, as well as Tyre and Sidon, though they are very shrewd. 3Tyre has built herself a fortress; she has heaped up silver like dust, and gold like the dirt of the streets. 4Behold, the Lord will impoverish her and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by fire.
