Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon? - ye have no connection with me (i:e., with my people: God identifying Himself with Israel: I - i:e., my people-have given you no cause of quarrel), why, then, do ye trouble me (i:e., my people)? Compare the same phrase, Joshua 22:24; Judges 11:12; 2 Samuel 16:10; Matthew 8:29.
O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? - (Amos 1:6; Amos 1:9, "For three transgressions of Gaze, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom ... For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant").
If ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head - if ye injure me (my people), in revenge for fancied wrongs (Ezekiel 25:15-17), I will requite you in your own coin swiftly and speedily.
