Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; the merchants of Zidon that pass over the sea have replenished thee.
And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the river, [was] her revenue; and she was the market of nations.
Be thou ashamed, Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.
As at the report concerning Egypt, they were sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Pass over to Tarshish: howl, ye inhabitants of the isle .
[Is] this your joyous [city], whose antiquity [is] of ancient days? Her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Who hath purposed this against Tyre, that giveth crowns, whose merchants [were] princes, whose dealers [were] the honourable of the earth?
Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring to nought all the honourable of the earth.
Overflow thy land as the Nile, daughter of Tarshish: [there is] no more restraint.
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shaketh the kingdoms. Jehovah hath given a commandment on Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof,
and hath said, Thou shalt no more exult, 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 existed not. The Assyrian founded it for the dwellers in the wilderness: they set up their towers, they destroyed the palaces thereof; he brought it to ruin.
Howl, ships of Tarshish, for your fortress 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 it shall be for Tyre as a harlot’s song.
Take a harp, go about the city, thou forgotten harlot; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she will return to her hire, and will commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the ground.
And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to Jehovah: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
