The burden
of Tyre.
Howl,
ye ships
of Tarshish;
for it is laid waste,
so that there is no house,
no entering in:
from the land
of Chittim
it is revealed
to them.
Be still,
ye inhabitants
of the isle;
thou whom the merchants
of Zidon,
that pass over
the sea,
have replenished.
And by great
waters
the seed
of Sihor,
the harvest
of the river,
is her revenue;
and she is a mart
of nations.
Be thou ashamed,
O Zidon:
for the sea
hath spoken,
even the strength
of the sea,
saying,
I travail
not, nor bring forth children,
neither do I nourish up
young men,
nor bring up
virgins.

As at the report
concerning Egypt,
so shall they be sorely pained
at the report
of Tyre.
Pass ye over
to Tarshish;
howl,
ye inhabitants
of the isle.
Is this your joyous
city, whose antiquity
is of ancient
days?
her own feet
shall carry
her afar off
to sojourn.
Who hath taken this counsel
against Tyre,
the crowning
city, whose merchants
are princes,
whose traffickers
are the honourable
of the earth?
The LORD
of hosts
hath purposed
it, to stain
the pride
of all glory,
and to bring into contempt
all the honourable
of the earth.
Pass
through thy land
as a river,
O daughter
of Tarshish:
there is no more strength.
He stretched out
his hand
over the sea,
he shook
the kingdoms:
the LORD
hath given a commandment
against the merchant
city, to destroy
the strong
holds
thereof.
And he said,
Thou shalt no more
rejoice,
O thou oppressed
virgin,
daughter
of Zidon:
arise,
pass over
to Chittim;
there also shalt thou have no rest.

Behold the land
of the Chaldeans;
this people
was not, till the Assyrian
founded
it for them that dwell in the wilderness:
they set up
the towers
thereof, they raised up
the palaces
thereof; and he brought
it to ruin.
Howl,
ye ships
of Tarshish:
for your strength
is laid waste.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that Tyre
shall be forgotten
seventy
years,
according to the days
of one
king:
after the end
of seventy
years
shall Tyre
sing
as an harlot.

Take
an harp,
go about
the city,
thou harlot
that hast been forgotten;
make sweet
melody,
sing many
songs,
that thou mayest be remembered.
And it shall come to pass after the end
of seventy
years,
that the LORD
will visit
Tyre,
and she shall turn
to her hire,
and shall commit fornication
with all the kingdoms
of the world
upon the face
of the earth.
And her merchandise
and her hire
shall be holiness
to the LORD:
it shall not be treasured
nor laid up;
for her merchandise
shall be for them that dwell
before
the LORD,
to eat
sufficiently,
and for durable
clothing.
