  23:1 ¶
THE WORD CONCERNING TYRE. Howl, ye ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and [men] no longer arrive from the land of the Citians: she is led captive. |
|
23:1 ¶
The burden°
of Tyre.°
Howl,°°
ye ships°
of Tarshish;°
for°
it is laid waste,°°
so that there is no house,°°
no entering in:°°°
from the land°°
of Chittim°
it is revealed°°
to them. |
|
23:2
To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Zidon{gr.Phoenice}, passing over the sea |
|
23:2
Be still,°°
ye inhabitants°°
of the isle;°
thou whom the merchants°°
of Zidon,°
that pass over°°
the sea,°
have replenished.°° |
|
23:3
in great waters, a generation of merchants? as when the harvest is gathered in, [so are] these traders with the nations. |
|
23:3
And by great°
waters°
the seed°
of Sihor,°
the harvest°
of the river,°
[is] her revenue;°
and she is°
a mart°
of nations.° |
|
23:4
Be ashamed, O Zidon{gr.Sidon}: the sea has said, yea, the strength of the sea has said, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, nor have I brought up young men, nor reared virgins. |
|
23:4
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.° |
|
23:5
Moreover when it shall be heard in Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, sorrow shall seize them for Tyre. |
|
23:5
As°
at the report°
concerning Egypt,°
[so] shall they be sorely pained°°
at the report°
of Tyre.° |
|
23:6
Depart ye to Carthage; howl, ye that dwell in this island. |
|
23:6
Pass ye over°°
to Tarshish;°
howl,°°
ye inhabitants°°
of the isle.° |
|
23:7
Was not this your pride from the beginning, before she was given up? |
|
23:7
[Is] this°
your joyous°
[city], whose antiquity°
[is] of ancient°
days?°°
her own feet°
shall carry°°
her afar off°°
to sojourn.°° |
|
23:8
Who has devised this counsel against Tyre? Is she inferior? or has she no strength? her merchants were the glorious princes of the earth. |
|
23:8
Who°
hath taken this counsel°°°
against°
Tyre,°
the crowning°°
[city], whose°
merchants°°
[are] princes,°
whose traffickers°°
[are] the honourable°°
of the earth?° |
|
23:9
The Lord of hosts has purposed to bring down all the pride of the glorious ones, and to disgrace every glorious thing on the earth. |
|
23:9
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
hath purposed°°
it, to stain°°
the pride°
of all°
glory,°
[and] to bring into contempt°°
all°
the honourable°°
of the earth.° |
|
23:10
Till thy land; for ships no more come out of Carthage. |
|
23:10
Pass°°
through°
thy land°
as a river,°
O daughter°
of Tarshish:°
[there is] no°
more°
strength.° |
|
23:11
And thy hand prevails no more by sea, which troubled kings: the Lord of hosts has given a command concerning Canaan{gr.Chanaan}, to destroy the strength thereof. |
|
23:11
He stretched out°°
his hand°
over°
the sea,°
he shook°°
the kingdoms:°
Yahweh°
hath given a commandment°°
against°
the merchant°
[city], to destroy°°
the strong°
holds°
thereof. |
|
23:12
And [men] shall say, Ye shall no longer at all continue to insult and injure the daughter of Zidon{gr.Sidon}: and if thou depart to the Citians, neither there shalt thou have rest. |
|
23:12
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.°°° |
|
23:13
And [if thou depart] to the land of the Chaldeans, this also is laid waste by the Assyrians, for her wall is fallen. |
|
23:13
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.° |
|
23:14
Howl, ye ships of Carthage: for your strong hold is destroyed. |
|
23:14
Howl,°°
ye ships°
of Tarshish:°
for°
your strength°
is laid waste.°° |
|
23:15
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] Tyre shall be left seventy years, as the time of a king, as the time of a man: and it shall come to pass after seventy years, [that] Tyre shall be as the song of a harlot. |
|
23:15
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.°° |
|
23:16
Take a harp, go about, O city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; play well on the harp, sing many [songs], that thou mayest be remembered. |
|
23:16
Take°°
an harp,°
go about°°
the city,°
thou harlot°°
that hast been forgotten;°°
make sweet°°
melody,°°
sing many°°
songs,°
that°
thou mayest be remembered.°° |
|
23:17 ¶
And it shall come to pass after the seventy years, [that] God will visit Tyre, and she shall be again restored to her primitive state, and she shall be a mart for all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. |
|
23:17 ¶
And it shall come to pass°
after the end°°
of seventy°
years,°
that Yahweh°
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.° |
|
23:18
And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, [even] all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a covenant [and] a memorial before the Lord. |
|
23:18
And her merchandise°
and her hire°
shall be°
holiness°
to Yahweh:°
it shall not°
be treasured°°
nor°
laid up;°°
for°
her merchandise°
shall be°
for them that dwell°°
before°
Yahweh,°
to eat°°
sufficiently,°
and for durable°
clothing.° |
