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 KittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them. Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the coastH339, thou whom the merchantsH5503 of SidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390. And on greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of the ShihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the NileH2975, was her revenueH8393; and she was the martH5505 of nationsH1471. Be thou ashamedH954, O SidonH6721; for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, the strongholdH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I have not travailedH2342, nor brought forthH3205, neither have I nourishedH1431 young menH970, nor brought upH1431 virginsH1330. When the reportH8088 cometh to EgyptH4714, they shall be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865. Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; wailH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the coastH339. Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117, whose feetH7272 carriedH2986 her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481? Who hath purposedH3289 this against TyreH6865, the bestower of crownsH5849, whose merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honorableH3513 of the earthH776? JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stainH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, to bring into contemptH7043 all the honorableH3513 of the earthH776. PassH5674 through thy landH776 as the NileH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659; there is no restraintH4206 any more. He hath stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he hath shakenH7264 the kingdomsH4467: JehovahH3068 hath given commandmentH6680 concerning CanaanH3667, to destroyH8045 the strongholdsH4581 thereofH4581. And he saidH559, Thou shalt no moreH3254 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330 daughterH1323 of SidonH6721: ariseH6965, pass overH5674 to KittimH3794; even there shalt thou have no restH5117. Behold, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: this peopleH5971 was not; the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245 it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728; they set upH6965 their towersH971; they overthrewH6209 the palacesH759 thereof; they madeH7760 it a ruinH4654. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for your strongholdH4581 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 it shall be unto TyreH6865 as in the songH7892 of the harlotH2181. TakeH3947 a 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 JehovahH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and she shall returnH7725 to her hireH868, and shall play the harlotH2181 with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127. And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to JehovahH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374.
