[1]The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213[H8685], ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703[H8795], so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935[H8800]: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to themH8738.
[2]Be stillH1826[H8798], ye inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503[H8802] of ZidonH6721, that pass overH5674[H8802] the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390.[H8765]
[3]And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.
[4]Be thou ashamedH954[H8798], O ZidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559[H8804], even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559[H8800], I travailH2342[H8804] not, nor bring forth childrenH3205[H8804], neither do I nourish upH1431[H8765] young menH970, nor bring upH7311[H8790] virginsH1330.
[5]As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342[H8799] at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.
[6]Pass ye overH5674[H8798] to TarshishH8659; howlH3213[H8685], ye inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the isleH339.
[7]Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117? her own feetH7272 shall carryH2986[H8686] her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481.[H8800]
[8]Who hath taken this counselH3289[H8804] against TyreH6865, the crowningH5849[H8688] city, whose merchantsH5503[H8802] are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honourableH3513[H8737] of the earthH776?
[9]The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289[H8804] it, to stainH2490[H8763] the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, and to bring into contemptH7043[H8687] all the honourableH3513[H8737] of the earthH776.
[10]PassH5674[H8798] through thy landH776 as a riverH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more strengthH4206.
[11]He stretched outH5186[H8804] his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shookH7264[H8689] the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680[H8765] against the merchantH3667 city, to destroyH8045[H8687] the strongH4581 holds thereofH4581.
[12]And he saidH559[H8799], Thou shalt no moreH3254[H8686] rejoiceH5937[H8800], O thou oppressedH6231[H8794] virginH1330, daughterH1323 of ZidonH6721: ariseH6965[H8798], pass overH5674[H8798] to ChittimH3794; there also shalt thou have no restH5117.[H8799]
[13]Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 was not, till the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245[H8804] it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728: they set upH6965[H8689] the towersH971 thereof, they raised upH6209[H8782] the palacesH759 thereof; and he broughtH7760[H8804] it to ruinH4654.
[14]HowlH3213[H8685], ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strengthH4581 is laid wasteH7703.[H8795]
[15]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911[H8737] seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428: after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 shall TyreH6865 singH7892 as an harlotH2181.[H8802]
[16]TakeH3947[H8798] an harpH3658, go aboutH5437[H8798] the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181[H8802] that hast been forgottenH7911[H8737]; make sweetH3190[H8685] melodyH5059[H8763], sing manyH7235[H8685] songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142.[H8735]
[17]And it shall come to pass after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485[H8799] TyreH6865, and she shall turnH7725[H8804] to her hireH868, and shall commit fornicationH2181[H8804] with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
[18]And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686[H8735] nor laid upH2630[H8735]; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427[H8802] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398[H8800] sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374.
