An Oracle concerning Tyre

23The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your fortress is destroyed. When they came in from Cyprus they learned of it.H4853H6865H3213H591H8659H7703H1004H935H776H3794H1540 2Be still, O inhabitants of the coast, O merchants of Sidon, your messengers crossed over the seaH1826H3427H339H5503H6721H5674H3220H4390 3and were on the mighty waters; your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.H7227H4325H2233H7883H7105H2975H8393H5505H1471 4Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the fortress of the sea, saying: "I have neither labored nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up young women."H954H6721H3220H559H4581H3220H559H2342H3205H1431H970H7311H1330 5When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.H8088H4714H2342H8088H6865 6Cross over to Tarshish—wail, O inhabitants of the coast!H5674H8659H3213H3427H339 7Is this your exultant city whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle far away?H5947H6927H6924H3117H7272H2986H7350H1481 8Who has planned 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 planned it—to defile the pride of all glory, to shame all the honored of the earth.H3068H6635H3289H2490H1347H6643H7043H3513H776 10Cross over to your own land, O ships of Tarshish; this is a harbor no more.H5674H776H2975H1323H8659H4206 11He has stretched out his hand over the sea, he has shaken the kingdoms; the LORD has given command concerning Canaan to destroy its fortresses.H5186H3027H3220H7264H4467H3068H6680H3667H8045H4581H4581 12He said: You will exult no longer, O oppressed virgin daughter Sidon; rise, cross over to Cyprus—even there you will have no rest.H559H3254H5937H6231H1330H1323H6721H6965H5674H3794H5117 13Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people; it was not Assyria. They destined Tyre for wild animals. They erected their siege towers, they tore down her palaces, they made her a ruin.H776H3778H5971H804H3245H6728H6965H971H6209H759H7760H4654 14Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your fortress is destroyed.H3213H591H8659H4581H7703 15From that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the lifetime of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song about the prostitute:H3117H6865H7911H7657H8141H3117H259H4428H7093H7657H8141H6865H7892H2181 16Take a harp, go about the city, you forgotten prostitute! Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered.H3947H3658H5437H5892H2181H7911H3190H5059H7235H7892H2142 17At the end of seventy years, the LORD will visit Tyre, and she will return to her trade, and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.H7093H7657H8141H3068H6485H6865H7725H868H2181H4467H776H6440H127 18Her merchandise and her wages will be dedicated to the LORD; her profits will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who live in the presence of the LORD.H5504H868H6944H3068H686H2630H5504H3427H6440H3068H398H7654H6266H4374
