1The burden4853 of Tyre6865. Howl3213, ye ships591 of Tarshish8659; for it is laid waste7703, so that there is no house1004, no entering in935: from the land776 of Chittim3794 it is revealed1540 to them.
2Be still1826, ye inhabitants3427 of the isle339; thou whom the merchants5503 of Zidon6721, that pass over5674 the sea3220, have replenished4390.
3And by great7227 waters4325 the seed2233 of Sihor7883, the harvest7105 of the river2975, is her revenue8393; and she is a mart5505 of nations1471.
4Be thou ashamed954, O Zidon6721: for the sea3220 hath spoken559, even the strength4581 of the sea3220, saying559, I travail2342 not, nor bring forth children3205, neither do I nourish up1431 young men970, nor bring up7311 virgins1330.
5As at the report8088 concerning Egypt4714, so shall they be sorely pained2342 at the report8088 of Tyre6865.
6Pass ye over5674 to Tarshish8659; howl3213, ye inhabitants3427 of the isle339.
7Is this your joyous5947 city, whose antiquity6927 is of ancient6924 days3117? her own feet7272 shall carry2986 her afar off7350 to sojourn1481.
8Who hath taken this counsel3289 against Tyre6865, the crowning5849 city, whose merchants5503 are princes8269, whose traffickers3667 are the honourable3513 of the earth776?
9The LORD3068 of hosts6635 hath purposed3289 it, to stain2490 the pride1347 of all glory6643, and to bring into contempt7043 all the honourable3513 of the earth776.
10Pass5674 through thy land776 as a river2975, O daughter1323 of Tarshish8659: there is no more strength4206.
11He stretched out5186 his hand3027 over the sea3220, he shook7264 the kingdoms4467: the LORD3068 hath given a commandment6680 against the merchant3667 city, to destroy8045 the strong4581 holds4581 thereof.
12And he said559, Thou shalt no more3254 rejoice5937, O thou oppressed6231 virgin1330, daughter1323 of Zidon6721: arise6965, pass over5674 to Chittim3794; there also shalt thou have no rest5117.
13Behold the land776 of the Chaldeans3778; this people5971 was not, till the Assyrian804 founded3245 it for them that dwell in the wilderness6728: they set up6965 the towers971 thereof, they raised up6209 the palaces759 thereof; and he brought7760 it to ruin4654.
14Howl3213, ye ships591 of Tarshish8659: for your strength4581 is laid waste7703.
15And it shall come to pass in that day3117, that Tyre6865 shall be forgotten7911 seventy7657 years8141, according to the days3117 of one259 king4428: after the end7093 of seventy7657 years8141 shall Tyre6865 sing7892 as an harlot2181.
16Take3947 an harp3658, go about5437 the city5892, thou harlot2181 that hast been forgotten7911; make sweet3190 melody5059, sing many7235 songs7892, that thou mayest be remembered2142.
17And it shall come to pass after the end7093 of seventy7657 years8141, that the LORD3068 will visit6485 Tyre6865, and she shall turn7725 to her hire868, and shall commit fornication2181 with all the kingdoms4467 of the world776 upon the face6440 of the earth127.
18And her merchandise5504 and her hire868 shall be holiness6944 to the LORD3068: it shall not be treasured686 nor laid up2630; for her merchandise5504 shall be for them that dwell3427 before6440 the LORD3068, to eat398 sufficiently7654, and for durable6266 clothing4374.
