This
is
the burden against
Tyre :
Wail
, O
ships of Tarshish ,
for Tyre
is laid waste, without
house or
harbor.
Word
has
reached
them
from the land of Cyprus
.
The burden of
Tyre .
Howl
, ye
ships of Tarshish ;
for it
is laid waste, so
that
there
is
no
house ,
no
entering
in:
from the land of Kittim
it
is
revealed
to
them
.
Be silent
, O
dwellers
of the coastland
, you
merchants of Sidon, whose
traders
have
crossed
the sea.
Be still
, ye
inhabitants
of the coast
, thou
whom
the
merchants of Sidon, that
pass
over
the sea ,
have
replenished
.
On the
great waters came
the grain
of Shihor ;
the harvest of the Nile was the
revenue of
Tyre
; she was the merchant
of the
nations.
And
on great waters the seed
of the
Shihor ,
the harvest of the Nile ,
was her
revenue; and
she was the mart
of nations.
Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for
the
sea
has
spoken:
“
I have not been
in
labor
or
given
birth.
I
have not
raised
young men or
brought up young
women
. ”
Be thou
ashamed, O Sidon ;
for
the
sea
hath
spoken
, the stronghold of the sea, saying,
I have not travailed,
nor
brought
forth,
neither
have I
nourished
young men ,
nor
brought up virgins
.
When the report reaches
Egypt, they will
writhe
in
agony
over
the news
of Tyre.
When the report cometh
to
Egypt, they shall
be
sorely
pained
at
the report
of Tyre.
Cross
over to Tarshish; wail, O
inhabitants of the coastland!
Pass
ye
over to Tarshish; wail, ye
inhabitants of the coast.
Is this your jubilant
city, whose origin
is
from
antiquity, whose feet have
taken
her to settle
far
away
?
Is this your joyous
`
city '
, whose antiquity is
of
ancient
days
, whose feet carried
her afar
off
to sojourn
?
Who planned
this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders
are princes, whose merchants
are renowned
on
the earth?
Who hath
purposed
this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants
are princes, whose traffickers
are the honorable
of
the
earth?
The
LORD
of Hosts planned
it, to defile
all its
glorious
beauty
, to disgrace
all the renowned
of the earth.
Jehovah
of hosts hath
purposed
it, to stain
the
pride
of
all glory
, to bring
into
contempt
all the honorable
of the earth.
Cultivate
your
land like
the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer
a
harbor
.
Pass
through
thy
land as
the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint
any
more
.
The
LORD
has
stretched out His hand over the sea ;
He has
made
kingdoms tremble.
He
has
given a
command
that
the strongholds of
Canaan
be
destroyed
.
He
hath
stretched out his hand over the sea ,
he hath
shaken
the
kingdoms :
Jehovah
hath
given commandment
concerning
Canaan,
to
destroy
the strongholds thereof
.
He said, “You
shall
rejoice
no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon .
Get
up
and
cross
over to Cyprus—
even there you
will
find
no rest. ”
And
he said, Thou
shalt
no more rejoice
, O thou
oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon :
arise,
pass
over to Kittim;
even there shalt
thou
have
no rest.
Look
at
the land of the Chaldeans —
a
people now
of
no
account.
The Assyrians
destined
it for the desert
creatures
; they set up their siege
towers and
stripped
its
palaces .
They brought
it to
ruin.
Behold,
the land of the Chaldeans :
this
people was
not;
the Assyrian
founded
it for them
that
dwell
in
the wilderness
; they set up their towers ;
they
overthrew
the
palaces thereof;
they made
it a
ruin.
Wail
, O
ships of Tarshish ,
for your harbor
has
been
destroyed!
Howl
, ye
ships of Tarshish ;
for your stronghold
is
laid
waste.
At
that time
Tyre will
be forgotten for
seventy years —
the span
of a
king’s
life.
But
at
the end of seventy years ,
it will
happen
to
Tyre as in the song of the harlot :
And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that day,
that
Tyre shall
be forgotten seventy years ,
according
to
the days
of one
king:
after
the end of seventy years it shall
be
unto
Tyre as in the song of the harlot .
“
Take up
your
harp, stroll
through
the city, O
forgotten
harlot .
Make sweet melody, sing many a
song
, so
you
will
be remembered. ”
Take a
harp, go
about
the city, thou
harlot that
hast
been
forgotten;
make sweet melody, sing many songs
, that
thou
mayest
be remembered.
And at
the end of seventy years, the
LORD
will restore
Tyre .
Then
she will
return to hire as
a
prostitute
and sell
herself
to
all the kingdoms on
the face of the earth.
And it
shall
come
to
pass
after
the end of seventy years, that
Jehovah
will visit
Tyre ,
and
she shall
return to her
hire ,
and shall
play
the
harlot
with
all the kingdoms of
the world
upon
the
face of the earth.
Yet
her profits
and wages
will
be set
apart
to the
LORD;
they
will
not be stored
or
saved,
for her profit
will
go
to
those
who
live
before the
LORD
, for
abundant
food
and fine
clothing.
And
her merchandise
and her
hire
shall
be holiness
to Jehovah:
it
shall
not be treasured
nor
laid
up;
for her merchandise
shall
be
for
them
that
dwell
before Jehovah
, to
eat
sufficiently,
and for
durable
clothing.
