What Does This Mean?
This verse is part of God's message to the city of Tyre, saying that He will make it desolate and covered by water. God is the speaker, and the key message is that He will bring destruction upon Tyre as a judgment.

Historical Background
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile, around 590 BC. The audience was the Israelites, and the cultural setting was one of impending judgment on the city of Tyre, a powerful maritime city that was opposing God's chosen people.

Today, this verse can remind us that actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences can be severe. For example, a business that engages in unethical practices might face ruin as a result.
