8WhoH4310 has plannedH3289 thisH2088 againstH5921 TyreH6865, 19the bestowerH5849 ofH5849 crownsH5849, WhoseH834 merchantsH5503 were princesH8269, whoseH834 tradersH3667 were the honoredH3513 of the earthH776?920The LordH3068 of armiesH6635 has plannedH3289 it, to 21defileH2490 the prideH1347 of allH3605 beautyH6643, To despiseH7043 allH3605 the 22honoredH3513 of the earthH776.1023OverflowH5674 your landH776 like the NileH2975, you daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659, ThereH369 isH369 noH369 moreH5750 24restraintH4206.11He has 25stretchedH5186 His handH3027 outH5186 26overH5921 the seaH3220, He has 27made the kingdomsH4467 trembleH7264; The LordH3068 has givenH6680 aH6680 commandH6680 concerningH413 CanaanH3667 to 28demolishH8045 its strongholdsH4581.

12He has saidH559, “29You shall not beH5937 jubilantH5937 anymoreH3254H5750, you crushedH6231 virginH1330 daughterH1323 of SidonH6721. AriseH6965, passH5674 overH5674 to 3031CyprusH3794; evenH1571 thereH8033 you will findH5117 noH3808 restH5117.”

13BeholdH2005, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778--thisH2088 is the peopleH5971 that did not existH1961; 32AssyriaH804 allocatedH3245 it for 33desertH6716 creaturesH6716--they erectedH6965 their siegeH969 towersH969, they strippedH6209 its palacesH759, 34they madeH7760 it a ruinH4654.14WailH3213, you 35shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, For your strongholdH4581 is destroyedH7703. 15Now on that dayH3117 TyreH6865 will be forgottenH7911 for 36seventyH7657 yearsH8141 like the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428. At the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 it will happenH1961 to TyreH6865 as in the songH7892 of the prostituteH2181:16TakeH3947 your harpH3658, wanderH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892, You forgottenH7911 prostituteH2181; PluckH5059 theH5059 stringsH5059 skillfullyH3190, singH7235H7892 manyH7235 songsH7892, That you may be rememberedH2142. 17It will comeH1961 aboutH1961 at 37the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 that the LordH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865. Then she will goH7725 backH7725 to her prostitute’sH868 wagesH868 and 38commitH2181 prostitutionH2181 with allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 39on the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 18Her 40profitH5504 and her prostitute’sH868 wagesH868 will be 41sacredH6944 to the LordH3068; it will not be storedH686 up or hoardedH2630, but her profitH5504 will becomeH1961 sufficientH7654 foodH398 and magnificentH6266 attireH4374 for those who dwellH3427 in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068.
