1The oracle<4853> concerning Tyre<6865>. Wail<3213>, O ships<591> of Tarshish<8659>, For Tyre is destroyed<7703>, without<4480> house<1004> or harbor<935>; It is reported<1540> to them from the land<776> of Cyprus<3794>.
2Be silent<1826>, you inhabitants<3427> of the coastland<339>, You merchants<5503> of Sidon<6721>; Your messengers<4390> crossed<5674> the sea<3220>
3And were on many<7227> waters<4325>. The grain<2233> of the Nile<7883>, the harvest<7105> of the River<2975> was her revenue<8393>; And she was the market<5504> of nations<1471>.
4Be ashamed<954>, O Sidon<6721>; For the sea<3220> speaks<559>, the stronghold<4581> of the sea<3220>, saying<559>, "I have neither<3808> travailed<2342> nor<3808> given<3205> birth<3205>, I have neither<3808> brought<1431> up young<970> men<970> nor reared<7311> virgins<1330>."
5When<3512> the report<8088> reaches Egypt<4714>, They will be in anguish<2342> at the report<8088> of Tyre<6865>.
6Pass<5674> over<5674> to Tarshish<8659>; Wail<3213>, O inhabitants<3427> of the coastland<339>.
7Is this<384> your jubilant<5947> city, Whose origin<6927> is from antiquity<6927>, Whose feet<7272> used to carry<2986> her to colonize<1481> distant<7350> places?
8Who<4310> has planned<3289> this<384> against<5921> Tyre<6865>, the bestower<5849> of crowns<5849>, Whose<834> merchants<5503> were princes<8269>, whose<834> traders<3667> were the honored<3513> of the earth<776>?
9The LORD<3068> of hosts<6635> has planned<3289> it, to defile<2490> the pride<1347> of all<3605> beauty<6643>, To despise<7043> all<3605> the honored<3513> of the earth<776>.
10Overflow<5674> your land<776> like the Nile<2975>, O daughter<1323> of Tarshish<8659>, There<369> is no<369> more<5750> restraint<4206>.
11He has stretched<5186> His hand<3027> out over<5921> the sea<3220>, He has made the kingdoms<4467> tremble<7264>; The LORD<3068> has given<6680> a command<6680> concerning<413> Canaan<3667> to demolish<8045> its strongholds<4581>.
12He has said<559>, "You shall exult<5937> no<3808> more<3254><5750>, O crushed<6231> virgin<1330> daughter<1323> of Sidon<6721>. Arise<6965>, pass<5674> over<5674> to Cyprus<3794>; even<1571> there<8033> you will find<5117> no<3808> rest<5117>."
13Behold<2005>, the land<776> of the Chaldeans<3778>--this<2088> is the people<5971> which was not; Assyria<804> appointed<3245> it for desert<6716> creatures<6716>--they erected<6965> their siege<969> towers<969>, they stripped<6209> its palaces<759>, they made<7760> it a ruin<4654>.
14Wail<3213>, O ships<591> of Tarshish<8659>, For your stronghold<4581> is destroyed<7703>.
15Now in that day<3117> Tyre<6865> will be forgotten<7911> for seventy<7657> years<8141> like the days<3117> of one<259> king<4428>. At the end<7093> of seventy<7657> years<8141> it will happen<1961> to Tyre<6865> as in the song<7892> of the harlot<2181>:
16Take<3947> your harp<3658>, walk<5437> about<5437> the city<5892>, O forgotten<7911> harlot<2181>; Pluck<5059> the strings<5059> skillfully<3190>, sing many<7235> songs<7892>, That you may be remembered<2142>.
17It will come<1961> about at the end<7093> of seventy<7657> years<8141> that the LORD<3068> will visit<6485> Tyre<6865>. Then she will go<7725> back<7725> to her harlot's<868> wages<868> and will play<2181> the harlot<2181> with all<3605> the kingdoms<4467> on the face<6440> of the earth<127>.
18Her gain<5504> and her harlot's<868> wages<868> will be set<6944> apart<6944> to the LORD<3068>; it will not be stored<686> up or hoarded<2630>, but her gain<5504> will become<1961> sufficient<7654> food<398> and choice<6266> attire<4374> for those who dwell<3427> in the presence<6440> of the LORD<3068>.
