MLV(i)
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, you* ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. It is revealed to them from the land of Kittim.
2 Be still, you* inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon, who pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 And on great waters the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue and she was the mart of nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins. 5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be greatly pained at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass over to Tarshish. Wail, you* inhabitants of the coast. 7 Is this your* joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to journey?
8 Who has purposed this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the honored of the earth? 9 Jehovah of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Pass through your land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, there is no restraint any more. 11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. Jehovah has given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds of it. 12 And he said, You will no more rejoice, O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there will you have no rest.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans. This people once was not. The Assyrian founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They raised up the palaces of it. Then they made it a ruin. 14 Howl, you* ships of Tarshish, for your* stronghold is laid waste.
15 And it will happen in that day, that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute: 16 Take a harp, go about the city, you prostitute who has been forgotten. Make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered.
17 And it happened after the end of seventy years, that Jehovah examined Tyre and she has repented of her gift, that she play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her pay will be holiness to Jehovah. It will not be treasured nor laid up, for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Jehovah, to eat sufficiently and for durable clothing.
