The 1oracle concerning aTyre
. Wail
, O bships
of cTarshish
, For Tyre is destroyed
, without
house
or 2 dharbor
; It is reported
to them from the land
of 3 eCyprus
.
aBe silent, you inhabitants
of the coastland
, You merchants
of Sidon
; 1Your messengers
crossed
the sea
And were on many waters
. aThe grain
of the 1 bNile
, the harvest
of the River
was her revenue
; And she was the cmarket
of nations
.
Be ashamed, O aSidon
; For the sea
speaks
, the stronghold
of the sea
, saying
, "I have neither
travailed
nor
given
birth
, I have neither
brought
up young
men
nor reared
virgins
."
When the report
reaches Egypt
, They will be in aanguish
at the report
of Tyre
.
Pass over
to aTarshish
; Wail
, O inhabitants
of the coastland
.
Is this your ajubilant
city, Whose origin
is from antiquity
, Whose feet
used to carry
her to 1colonize
distant
places?
Who has planned
this
against
Tyre
, athe bestower
of crowns
, Whose
merchants
were princes
, whose
traders
were the honored
of the earth
?
aThe LORD of hosts
has planned
it, to bdefile
the pride
of all
beauty
, To despise
all
the chonored
of the earth
.
1Overflow your land
like the Nile
, O daughter
of Tarshish
, There
is no
more
2restraint
.
He has astretched His hand
out bover
the sea
, He has cmade the kingdoms
tremble
; The LORD
has given
a command
concerning
Canaan
to ddemolish
its strongholds
.
He has said, " aYou shall exult
no
more
, O crushed
virgin
daughter
of Sidon
. Arise
, pass
over
to 1 bCyprus
; even
there
you will find
no
rest
."
Behold, the land
of the Chaldeans
--this
is the people
which was not; aAssyria
appointed
it for bdesert
creatures
--they erected
their siege
towers
, they stripped
its palaces
, cthey made
it a ruin
.
Wail, O aships
of Tarshish
, For your stronghold
is destroyed
.
Now in that day Tyre
will be forgotten
for aseventy
years
like the days
of one
king
. At the end
of seventy
years
it will happen
to Tyre
as in the song
of the harlot
:
Take your harp
, walk
about
the city
, O forgotten
harlot
; Pluck
the strings
skillfully
, sing many
songs
, That you may be remembered
.
It will come about at athe end
of seventy
years
that the LORD
will visit
Tyre
. Then she will go
back
to her harlot's
wages
and will bplay
the harlot
with all
the kingdoms
1on the face
of the earth
.
Her again and her harlot's
wages
will be bset
apart
to the LORD
; it will not be stored
up or hoarded
, but her gain
will become
sufficient
food
and choice
attire
for those who dwell
in the presence
of the LORD
.
