Verses 13-14
The Lord would silence the singing and music in Tyre (cf. Isaiah 23:16; Revelation 18:22). He would turn its site into a bare rock suitable for the drying of fishnets (cf. 25:5-6). Moreover the city would not rebuild on that site again, a very unusual phenomenon in ancient times. This is the fate that Yahweh decreed for Tyre.
"’Shall never be rebuilt’ might be better translated ’will not be built-up again,’ that is, ’will not go back to its former state,’ and does not imply that the island of Tyre would never again have any buildings or inhabitants at all." [Note: Stuart, p. 260.]
