The Fall of Tyre
23THE MOURNFUL, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Tyre: Wail, you ships of [Tyre returning from trading with] Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, so that there is no house, no harbor; from the land of Kittim (Cyprus) they learn of it.H48532Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you merchants of Sidon, {your messengers} passing over the sea have replenished you [with wealth and industry],H1826H3427H339H5503H6721H5674H3220H4390
3And were on great waters. The seed {or} grain of the Shihor, the harvest [due to the overflow] of the Nile River, was [Tyre's] revenue, and she became the merchandise of the nations.H7227H4325H2233H7883H7105H2975H8393H5505H1471
4Be ashamed, O Sidon [mother-city of Tyre, now a widow bereaved of her children], for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have neither travailed nor brought forth children; I have neither nourished {and} reared young men nor brought up virgins.H954H6721H3220H559H4581H3220H559H2342H3205H1431H970H7311H1330
5When the report comes to Egypt, they will be sorely pained over the report about Tyre.H8088H4714H2342H8088H6865
6Pass over to Tarshish [to seek safety as exiles]! Wail, you inhabitants of the [Tyre] coast!H5674H8659H3213H3427H339
7Is this your jubilant city, whose origin dates back into antiquity, whose own feet are accustomed to carry her far off to settle [daughter cities]?H5947H6927H6924H3117H7272H2986H7350H1481
8Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?H3289H6865H5849H5503H8269H3667H3513H776
9The Lord of hosts has purposed it [in accordance with a fixed principle of His government], to defile the pride of all glory and to bring into dishonor {and} contempt all the honored of the earth.H3068H6635H3289H2490H1347H6643H7043H3513H776
10Overflow your land like [the overflow of] the Nile River, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no girdle of restraint [on you] any more [to make you pay tribute or customs or duties to Tyre].H5674H776H2975H1323H8659H4206
11He stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the kingdoms; the Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to destroy her strongholds {and} fortresses [Tyre, Sidon, etc.].H5186H3027H3220H7264H4467H3068H6680H3667H8045H4581H4581
12And He said, You shall no more exult, you oppressed {and} crushed one, O Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim (Cyprus); but even there you will have no rest.H559H3254H5937H6231H1330H1323H6721H6965H5674H3794H5117
13Look at the land of the Chaldeans! That people and not the Assyrians designed {and} assigned [Tyre] for the wild beasts {and} those who [previously] dwelt in the wilderness. They set up their siege works, they overthrew its palaces, they made it a ruin!H776H3778H5971H804H3245H6728H6965H971H6209H759H7760H4654
14Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold [of Tyre] is laid waste [your strength has been destroyed].H3213H591H8659H4581H7703
15And in that day Tyre will be in obscurity {and} forgotten for seventy years, according to the days of one dynasty. After the end of seventy years will Tyre sing as a harlot [who has been forgotten but again attracts her lovers].H3117H6865H7911H7657H8141H3117H259H4428H7093H7657H8141H6865H7892H2181
16Take a harp, go about the city, forgotten harlot; play skillfully {and} make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered.H3947H3658H5437H5892H2181H7911H3190H5059H7235H7892H2142
New Testament
17And after the end of seventy years the Lord will remember Tyre; and she will return to her hire and will play the harlot [resume her commerce] with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.H7093H7657H8141H3068H6485H6865H7725H868H2181H4467H776H6440H127
18But her gain and her hire [the profits of Tyre's new prosperity] will be dedicated to the Lord [eventually]; it will not be treasured or stored up, for her gain will be used for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord [the ministers], that they may eat sufficiently and have durable {and} stately clothing [suitable for those who minister at God's altar].H5504H868H6944H3068H686H2630H5504H3427H6440H3068H398H7654H6266H4374
