Literally, “nothingness of thee.”

 Here the Heb. ‘od (see on v. 14) is connected to the word le‘olam, meaning, literally, “for an age.” The length of ‘olam must also be determined by its context (see on Ex. 21:6). The combination of ‘od and le‘olam seems to emphasize duration. Ezekiel’s words may thus be construed as signifying that the ancient culture and civilization of Tyre would disappear and be no more. Never would the ancient empire be revived.
