Ezekiel 26:12 says, And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. God said that when this defeat came, it was going to be total. When God's judgment comes, everything that people acquired while failing to acknowledge Him will be destroyed. Even the things that Christians have acquired other than the works that they have done for God and His kingdom will also be destroyed.
Verse thirteen adds, And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard. All the singing and mirth, or the false pleasure that the people of Tyrus had enjoyed was going to cease when God's judgment came and when people face God’s judgment without putting their faith in Jesus Christ, there will be no more singing and mirth, but only wailing from everlasting suffering.
Verse fourteen continues, And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord God. God said that the nation of Tyrus would be no more, but that their land would become a place where fishermen would dry their nets instead of being a great seaport. Whatever we gain in this world without acknowledging God will one day be completely destroyed.
