Isaiah 23

1The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. Howl, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659! for it is laid waste, so that there is no houseH1004, none entering in. From the landH776 of Chittim it is revealedH1540 to them. 2Be still, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isle! The merchants of SidonH6721, that passH5674 over the seaH3220, have replenished thee. 3And on greatH7227 watersH4325, the seedH2233 of ShihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the Nile, wasH1961 her revenue; and she wasH1961 the market of the nationsH1471. 4Be thou ashamedH954, SidonH6721, for the seaH3220 hath spoken, the strength of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I have not travailed nor broughtH3205 forthH3205, neither have I nourished youngH970 menH970 [nor] broughtH3205 up virginsH1330. 5— WhenH834 the reportH8088 came into EgyptH4714, they were sorely pained at the news of TyreH6865. 6PassH5674 over to TarshishH8659; howl, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the coast! 7Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient daysH3117? Her feetH7272 shall carry her afarH7350 off to sojourn. 8Who hath purposed this against TyreH6865, the distributor of crowns, whose merchants were princesH8269, whose dealers were the honourable of the earthH776? 9Jehovah of hostsH6635 hath purposed it, to profaneH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH3513, to bring to nought all the honourable of the earthH776. 10Overflow thy landH776 like the Nile, daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more restraint. 11He hath stretchedH5186 out his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shaketh the kingdomsH4467. Jehovah hath given a commandment concerning CanaanH3667, to destroyH8045 the strongholdsH4581 thereof, 12and hath saidH559, Thou shalt no more exultH5937, [thou] oppressedH6231 virginH1330, daughterH1323 of SidonH6721: get thee up, passH5674 over to Chittim; even there shalt thou have no restH5117. 13Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: this peopleH5971 did not exist; the Assyrian foundedH3245 it for the dwellers in the desert: they setH7760 up their towers, they destroyed the palaces thereof; he brought it to ruin. 14Howl, shipsH591 of TarshishH8659! for your fortress is laid waste. 15And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall beH1961 forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428. At the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 it shall beH1961 for TyreH6865 as the harlot's songH7892. 16TakeH3947 a harpH3658, goH5437 about the cityH5892, thou forgottenH7911 harlot! MakeH2142 sweet melody, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142. 17And it shall come to pass at the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that Jehovah will visitH6485 TyreH6865; and she will returnH7725 to her hireH868, and will commit fornication with all the kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776 upon the faceH6440 of the groundH776. 18And her merchandise and her hireH868 shall beH1961 holyH6944 to Jehovah: it shall not beH1961 treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall beH1961 for them that dwellH3427 before Jehovah, to eatH398 and beH1961 sufficed, and for excellent clothing.
