The Lord Spoke: "The Day Your Music Died"

Ezekiel 26:12 They will plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and soil they will cast into the midst of the waters. 13 And I will stop the music of your songs, and the sound of your lyres shall be heard no more. 14 I will make you a bare rock. You shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, for I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God.

God's pronouncement of judgment on Tyre continues. As we saw yesterday, because they took delight in the fall of Jerusalem, their city would be totally destroyed. The stones of the city were used for a causeway out to a nearby island, becoming a fishing haven.  Also, their songs of rejoicing would stop. In fact, in the next chapter God gave Ezekiel a lament, a funeral dirge to be sung over their eternal loss. It would be the only sound of music heard in Tyre.
