23An oracle against Tyre: Wail, ships of Tarshish, for your haven has been destroyed. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.H4853H6865H3213H591H8659H7703H1004H935H776H3794H15402Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon; your agents have crossed the seaH1826H3427H339H5503H6721H5674H3220H43903on many waters. Tyre's revenue was the grain from Shihor— the harvest of the Nile. She was the merchant among the nations.H7227H4325H2233H7883H7105H2975H8393H5505H14714Be ashamed Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: "I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men [or] brought up young women."H954H6721H3220H559H4581H3220H559H2342H3205H1431H970H7311H13305When the news reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish over the news about Tyre.H8088H4714H2342H8088H68656Cross over to Tarshish; wail, inhabitants of the coastland!H5674H8659H3213H3427H3397Is this your jubilant [city], whose origin was in ancient times, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?H5947H6927H6924H3117H7272H2986H7350H14818Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth?H3289H6865H5849H5503H8269H3667H3513H7769The LORD of Hosts planned it, to desecrate all [its] glorious beauty, to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.H3068H6635H3289H2490H1347H6643H7043H3513H77610Overflow your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer anything to restrain [you].H5674H776H2975H1323H8659H420611He stretched out His hand over the sea; He made kingdoms tremble. The LORD has commanded that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed.H5186H3027H3220H7264H4467H3068H6680H3667H8045H4581H458112He said, "You will not rejoice any more, ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will have no rest!"H559H3254H5937H6231H1330H1323H6721H6965H5674H3794H511713Look at the land of Chaldeans— a people who no longer exist. Assyria destined it for wild beasts. They set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They made it a ruin.H776H3778H5971H804H3245H6728H6965H971H6209H759H7760H465414Wail, ships of Tarshish, because your fortress is destroyed!H3213H591H8659H4581H770315On that day Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years— the life span of one king. At the end of 70 years, what the song [says] about the prostitute will happen to Tyre:H3117H6865H7911H7657H8141H3117H259H4428H7093H7657H8141H6865H7892H218116Pick up [your] harp, stroll through the city, prostitute forgotten [by men]. Play skillfully, sing many a song, and you will be thought of again.H3947H3658H5437H5892H2181H7911H3190H5059H7235H7892H214217And at the end of the 70 years, the LORD will restore Tyre and she will go back into business, prostituting herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.H7093H7657H8141H3068H6485H6865H7725H868H2181H4467H776H6440H12718But her profits and wages will be dedicated to the LORD. They will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live in the LORD's presence, to provide them with ample food and sacred clothing.H5504H868H6944H3068H686H2630H5504H3427H6440H3068H398H7654H6266H4374
