- Suffering in silence: The residents of Tzur were silent in their suffering due to shame.
- A center of commerce: The city was a great center of commerce, receiving shipments of products from all over the world.
- The panic of Egypt: When Egypt heard of the destruction of Tzur they panicked.
- The exile of its citizens: The people of Tzur will go into exile.
- The plan of G-d: This was all planned by G-d in order, so the nations of the world see and take lesson for their behavior.
- The city will be destroyed by a people that was recently established by Ashur, for this purpose of destroying the city.
- Seventy years desolation from commerce: The city will be forgotten from memory of the businessman for a period of 70 years, which is the years of reign of the king.
- It’s revival as a city of commerce: At the end of the 70 years it will be like the song of a harlot, it will play music to attract the nations to do business with it, and G-d will reinstate the city to its glory and do business with all of the kingdoms that are on the face of the earth.
