1The burden <04853> of Tyre <06865>_. Howl <03213> (8685)_, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659>_; for it is laid waste <07703> (8795)_, so that there is no house <01004>_, no entering in <0935> (8800)_: from the land <0776> of Chittim <03794> it is revealed <01540> (8738) to them.
2Be still <01826> (8798)_, ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the isle <0339>_; thou whom the merchants <05503> (8802) of Zidon <06721>_, that pass over <05674> (8802) the sea <03220>_, have replenished <04390> (8765)_. {still: Heb. silent}
3And by great <07227> waters <04325> the seed <02233> of Sihor <07883>_, the harvest <07105> of the river <02975>_, [is] her revenue <08393>_; and she is a mart <05505> of nations <01471>_.
4Be thou ashamed <0954> (8798)_, O Zidon <06721>_: for the sea <03220> hath spoken <0559> (8804)_, [even] the strength <04581> of the sea <03220>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, I travail <02342> (8804) not, nor bring forth children <03205> (8804)_, neither do I nourish up <01431> (8765) young men <0970>_, [nor] bring up <07311> (8790) virgins <01330>_.
5As at the report <08088> concerning Egypt <04714>_, [so] shall they be sorely pained <02342> (8799) at the report <08088> of Tyre <06865>_.
6Pass ye over <05674> (8798) to Tarshish <08659>_; howl <03213> (8685)_, ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the isle <0339>_.
7[Is] this your joyous <05947> [city], whose antiquity <06927> [is] of ancient <06924> days <03117>_? her own feet <07272> shall carry <02986> (8686) her afar off <07350> to sojourn <01481> (8800)_. {afar...: Heb. from afar off}
8Who hath taken this counsel <03289> (8804) against Tyre <06865>_, the crowning <05849> (8688) [city], whose merchants <05503> (8802) [are] princes <08269>_, whose traffickers <03667> [are] the honourable <03513> (8737) of the earth <0776>_?
9The LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> hath purposed <03289> (8804) it, to stain <02490> (8763) the pride <01347> of all glory <06643>_, [and] to bring into contempt <07043> (8687) all the honourable <03513> (8737) of the earth <0776>_. {to stain: Heb. to pollute}
10Pass <05674> (8798) through thy land <0776> as a river <02975>_, O daughter <01323> of Tarshish <08659>_: [there is] no more strength <04206>_. {strength: Heb. girdle}
11He stretched out <05186> (8804) his hand <03027> over the sea <03220>_, he shook <07264> (8689) the kingdoms <04467>_: the LORD <03068> hath given a commandment <06680> (8765) against the merchant <03667> [city], to destroy <08045> (8687) the strong <04581> holds <04581> thereof. {against...: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong...: or, strengths}
12And he said <0559> (8799)_, Thou shalt no more <03254> (8686) rejoice <05937> (8800)_, O thou oppressed <06231> (8794) virgin <01330>_, daughter <01323> of Zidon <06721>_: arise <06965> (8798)_, pass over <05674> (8798) to Chittim <03794>_; there also shalt thou have no rest <05117> (8799)_.
13Behold the land <0776> of the Chaldeans <03778>_; this people <05971> was not, [till] the Assyrian <0804> founded <03245> (8804) it for them that dwell in the wilderness <06728>_: they set up <06965> (8689) the towers <0971> thereof, they raised up <06209> (8782) the palaces <0759> thereof; [and] he brought <07760> (8804) it to ruin <04654>_.
14Howl <03213> (8685)_, ye ships <0591> of Tarshish <08659>_: for your strength <04581> is laid waste <07703> (8795)_.
15And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>_, that Tyre <06865> shall be forgotten <07911> (8737) seventy <07657> years <08141>_, according to the days <03117> of one <0259> king <04428>_: after the end <07093> of seventy <07657> years <08141> shall Tyre <06865> sing <07892> as an harlot <02181> (8802)_. {shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
16Take <03947> (8798) an harp <03658>_, go about <05437> (8798) the city <05892>_, thou harlot <02181> (8802) that hast been forgotten <07911> (8737)_; make sweet <03190> (8685) melody <05059> (8763)_, sing many <07235> (8685) songs <07892>_, that thou mayest be remembered <02142> (8735)_.
17And it shall come to pass after the end <07093> of seventy <07657> years <08141>_, that the LORD <03068> will visit <06485> (8799) Tyre <06865>_, and she shall turn <07725> (8804) to her hire <0868>_, and shall commit fornication <02181> (8804) with all the kingdoms <04467> of the world <0776> upon the face <06440> of the earth <0127>_.
18And her merchandise <05504> and her hire <0868> shall be holiness <06944> to the LORD <03068>_: it shall not be treasured <0686> (8735) nor laid up <02630> (8735)_; for her merchandise <05504> shall be for them that dwell <03427> (8802) before <06440> the LORD <03068>_, to eat <0398> (8800) sufficiently <07654>_, and for durable <06266> clothing <04374>_. {durable: Heb. old}
