Verse 10

"But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

Note the similarity with Amos 1:7, both predictions being somewhat stylized prophecies of the destruction of the places indicated. This prophecy was fulfilled, as were all the others.

FULFILLMENT REGARDING TYRE

Within the space of little more than half a century, Tyre was made a vassal city of Assyria, was besieged and captured by "Nebuchadnezzar after a thirteen years siege (585-573 B.C.),[36] and was ultimately wiped off the face of the earth by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. "The ancient city of Tyreon the mainland has never been rebuilt."[37] Following the destruction of Tyre by Alexander the Great, "Thirty thousand of its people were sold into slavery";[38] and thus, the old slave traders finally received "the just recompense of their deeds."
