King James Version
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 Chittim
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 isle;
thou
whom
the
merchants of Zidon
, 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
by
great waters the seed
of Sihor,
the harvest of the river,
is
her
revenue; and
she is
a
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 Zidon:
for
the
sea
hath
spoken
, even
the strength
of the sea, saying,
I travail
not ,
nor
bring
forth
children,
neither
do
I nourish
up
young men ,
nor
bring
up virgins
.
When
the report reaches
Egypt, they will
writhe
in
agony
over
the news
of Tyre.
As
at
the report concerning
Egypt, so
shall
they be
sorely
pained
at
the report
of Tyre.
Cross
over to Tarshish; wail
, O
inhabitants of the coastland!
Pass
ye
over to Tarshish; howl
, ye
inhabitants of the isle.
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?
her
own
feet shall
carry
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
taken
this counsel
against Tyre, the crowning
city
, whose merchants
are princes, whose traffickers
are the honourable
of
the
earth?
The LORD of Hosts planned
it, to defile
all its
glorious
beauty
, to disgrace
all the renowned
of the earth.
The LORD of hosts hath
purposed
it, to stain
the
pride
of
all glory
, and
to bring
into
contempt
all the honourable
of the earth.
Cultivate
your
land like
the
Nile
, O Daughter of Tarshish ;
there is no longer
a
harbor
.
Pass
through
thy
land as
a
river
, O daughter of Tarshish :
there is no more
strength
.
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
stretched out his hand over the sea ,
he shook
the
kingdoms :
the
LORD
hath
given a commandment
against
the merchant
city,
to
destroy
the
strong
holds
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 Zidon:
arise,
pass
over to Chittim;
there also
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,
till
the Assyrian
founded
it for them
that
dwell
in
the wilderness:
they set up the
towers thereof,
they raised
up
the
palaces
thereof;
and
he
brought it to ruin.
Wail
, O
ships of Tarshish ,
for your harbor
has
been
destroyed!
Howl
, ye
ships of Tarshish :
for your strength
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 shall
Tyre sing
as an
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 an
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
the LORD will visit
Tyre ,
and
she shall
turn
to her
hire ,
and shall
commit
fornication
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 the LORD :
it
shall
not be treasured
nor
laid
up;
for her merchandise
shall
be
for
them
that
dwell
before the LORD, to
eat
sufficiently,
and for
durable
clothing.
