Also against Hamath, which borders on it, And against Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. For Tyre built herself a tower, Heaped up silver like the dust, And gold like the mire of the streets.

Zechariah 9:1-6 MSG (The Message)

War Bulletin: GOD’s Message challenges the country of Hadrach. It will settle on Damascus. The whole world has its eyes on GOD. Israel isn’t the only one. That includes Hamath at the border, and Tyre and Sidon, clever as they think they are. Tyre has put together quite a kingdom for herself; she has stacked up silver like cordwood, piled gold high as haystacks. But God will certainly bankrupt her; he will dump all that wealth into the ocean and burn up what’s left in a big fire. Ashkelon will see it and panic, Gaza will wring its hands, Ekron will face a dead end. Gaza’s king will die. Ashkelon will be emptied out, And a villain will take over in Ashdod.

Zechariah 9:2-3 NASB2020 (New American Standard Bible - NASB)

And Hamath also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. For Tyre built herself a fortress, And piled up silver like dust, And gold like the mud of the streets.

Zechariah 9:2-3 AMP (Amplified Bible)

And Hamath also, which borders on it (Damascus), Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. For Tyre built herself an [impregnable] stronghold [on an island offshore], And she has heaped up silver like dust And gold like the mire of the streets.

Zechariah 9:2-3 NET (New English Translation)

as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre and Sidon, though they consider themselves to be very wise. Tyre built herself a fortification and piled up silver like dust and gold like the mud of the streets!
