2 Be still ye inhabitants of the isle thou whom the merchants of Zidon that pass over the sea have replenished
3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor the harvest of the river is her revenue and she is a mart of nations
4 Be thou ashamed O Zidon for the sea hath spoken even the strength of the sea saying I travail not nor bring forth children neither do I nourish up young men nor bring up virgins
5 As at the report concerning Egypt so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish howl ye inhabitants of the isle
7 Is this your joyous city whose antiquity is of ancient days her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn
8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre the crowning city whose merchants are princes whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth
9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it to stain the pride of all glory and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth
10 Pass through thy land as a river O daughter of Tarshish there is no more strength
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea he shook the kingdoms the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city to destroy the strong holds thereof
12 And he said Thou shalt no more rejoice O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon arise pass over to Chittim there also shalt thou have no rest
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans this people was not till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness they set up the towers thereof they raised up the palaces thereof and he brought it to ruin
14 Howl ye ships of Tarshish for your strength is laid waste
15 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 shall Tyre sing as an harlot
16 Take an harp go about the city thou harlot that hast been forgotten make sweet melody sing many songs that thou mayest be remembered
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre and she shall turn to her hire and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD it shall not be treasured nor laid up for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD to eat sufficiently and for durable clothing
