Isaiah 23

1The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laidH1540 wasteH7703, soH935 that there is no houseH1004, no enteringH935 in: from the landH776 of KittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them. 2Be stillH3427, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isle; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of Zidon, that passH5674 over the seaH3220, have replenished. 3And on greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of ShihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the NileH2975, was herH1961 revenueH8393; and she was the mart of nationsH1471. 4Be thou ashamedH954, O Zidon: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, the strongH4581 hold of the seaH3220; sayingH559, I have notH3808 travailed, norH3808 broughtH3205 forthH3205, neitherH3808 have I nourished youngH970 menH970, norH3808 broughtH3205 upH7311 virginsH1330. 5When the reportH8088 cometh to EgyptH4714, they shall be sorely pained at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865. 6PassH5674 ye over to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isle. 7Is this your joyous cityH6927, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancient daysH3117, whose feetH7272 carriedH2986 herH3117 afarH7350 offH7350 to sojourn? 8Who hath purposedH3289 this againstH5921 TyreH6865, the crowning city, whoseH834 merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whoseH834 traffickers are the honourable of the earthH776? 9The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stain the prideH1347 of allH3605 gloryH3513, to bring intoH776 contemptH7043 allH3605 the honourable of the earthH776. 10PassH5674 throughH5674 thy landH776 as the NileH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659; there is noH369 girdle aboutH776 thee anyH5750 moreH5750. 11He hath stretchedH5186 outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he hath shaken the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath givenH6680 commandmentH6680 concerning CanaanH3667, to destroyH8045 the strongH4581 holds thereof. 12And he saidH559, Thou shalt noH3808 moreH5750 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330 daughterH1323 of Zidon: ariseH6965, passH5674 over to KittimH3794; evenH1571 there shalt thou have noH3808 restH5117. 13BeholdH2005, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 is noH3808 moreH3808; the Assyrian hath appointedH7760 it for the beasts of the wilderness: they setH7760 upH6965 their towersH759, they overthrew the palacesH759 thereof; he madeH7760 it a ruin. 14HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strongH4581 hold is laid wasteH7703. 15And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of one kingH4428: afterH7093 the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 it shall be unto TyreH6865 as in the songH7892 of the harlotH2181. 16TakeH3947 an harpH3658, goH5437 aboutH5437 the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181 that hast been forgottenH7911; makeH2142 sweet melody, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142. 17And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 afterH5921 the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and sheH6440 shall returnH7725 to herH3605 hireH868, and shall playH2181 the harlotH2181 with allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH776. 18And herH398 merchandiseH5504 and herH398 hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall notH3808 be treasured norH3808 laidH686 upH398; for herH398 merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
