Chapter 23
The ^1 burden of Tyre.
[Footnote 1: Or, oracle concerning]
Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no
house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them. Be
still, ye inhabitants of the coast, thou whom the merchants of Sidon, that
pass over the sea, have replenished. And on great waters the seed of the
Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of
nations. Be thou ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of
the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I
nourished young men, nor brought up virgins. ^2 When the report cometh to
Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. Pass ye over to
Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the coast. Is this your joyous city, whose
antiquity is ^3 of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
[Footnote 2: Or, As at the report concerning Egypt, so &c.]
[Footnote 3: Or, of ancient days? her own feet shall carry &c.]
Who hath purposed this against. Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose
merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, to ^4 stain the pride of all glory, to
bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. ^5 Pass through thy land
as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no ^6 restraint any more. He
hath stretched out his hand over the sea, he hath shaken the kingdoms: Jehovah
hath given commandment concerning ^7 Canaan, to destroy the strongholds
thereof. And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice. O thou oppressed virgin
daughter of Sidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no
rest.
[Footnote 4: Heb. profane.]
[Footnote 5: Or, Overflow]
[Footnote 6: Heb. girdle.]
[Footnote 7: Or, the merchant people]
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: ^8 this people was not; the Assyrian
founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness; they set up ^9 their towers;
they ^10 overthrew the palaces thereof; they made it a ruin. Howl, ye ships
of Tarshish; for your stronghold 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 ^11 it shall be unto Tyre as in the
song of the harlot. Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast
been forgotten; 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 shall return to her hire, and shall play the
harlot with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 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 ^12 durable clothing.
[Footnote 8: This people is no more; the Assyrian hath appointed it for the
beasts of the wilderness.]
[Footnote 9: Or, the towers thereof]
[Footnote 10: Or, raised up]
[Footnote 11: Or, shall Tyre sing as a harlot]
[Footnote 12: Or, stately]
