The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them.
Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of ZidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390. {still: Heb. silent}
And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.
Be thou ashamedH954, O ZidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I travailH2342 not, nor bring forth childrenH3205, neither do I nourish upH1431 young menH970, nor bring upH7311 virginsH1330.
As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.
Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339.
Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117? her own feetH7272 shall carryH2986 her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481. {afar…: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counselH3289 against TyreH6865, the crowningH5849 city, whose merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honourableH3513 of the earthH776?
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stainH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, and to bring into contemptH7043 all the honourableH3513 of the earthH776. {to stain: Heb. to pollute}
PassH5674 through thy landH776 as a riverH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more strengthH4206. {strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shookH7264 the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 against the merchantH3667 city, to destroyH8045 the strongH4581 holdsH4581 thereof. {against…: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong…: or, strengths}
And he saidH559, Thou shalt no moreH3254 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330, daughterH1323 of ZidonH6721: ariseH6965, pass overH5674 to ChittimH3794; there also shalt thou have no restH5117.
Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 was not, till the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245 it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728: they set upH6965 the towersH971 thereof, they raised upH6209 the palacesH759 thereof; and he broughtH7760 it to ruinH4654.
HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strengthH4581 is laid wasteH7703.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428: after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 shall TyreH6865 singH7892 as an harlotH2181. {shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
TakeH3947 an harpH3658, go aboutH5437 the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181 that hast been forgottenH7911; make sweetH3190 melodyH5059, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142.
And it shall come to pass after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and she shall turnH7725 to her hireH868, and shall commit fornicationH2181 with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374. {durable: Heb. old}
