Isaiah 23:1-18

The burden
<04853>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_;
for it is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
so that there is no house
<01004>_,
no entering in
<0935> (8800)_:
from the land
<0776>
of Chittim
<03794>
it is revealed
<01540> (8738)
to them.
Be still
<01826> (8798)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_;
thou whom the merchants
<05503> (8802)
of Zidon
<06721>_,
that pass over
<05674> (8802)
the sea
<03220>_,
have replenished
<04390> (8765)_.
{still: Heb. silent}
And by great
<07227>
waters
<04325>
the seed
<02233>
of Sihor
<07883>_,
the harvest
<07105>
of the river
<02975>_,
[is] her revenue
<08393>_;
and she is a mart
<05505>
of nations
<01471>_.
Be thou ashamed
<0954> (8798)_,
O Zidon
<06721>_:
for the sea
<03220>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_,
[even] the strength
<04581>
of the sea
<03220>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
I travail
<02342> (8804)
not, nor bring forth children
<03205> (8804)_,
neither do I nourish up
<01431> (8765)
young men
<0970>_,
[nor] bring up
<07311> (8790)
virgins
<01330>_.
As at the report
<08088>
concerning Egypt
<04714>_,
[so] shall they be sorely pained
<02342> (8799)
at the report
<08088>
of Tyre
<06865>_.
Pass ye over
<05674> (8798)
to Tarshish
<08659>_;
howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the isle
<0339>_.
[Is] this your joyous
<05947>
[city], whose antiquity
<06927>
[is] of ancient
<06924>
days
<03117>_?
her own feet
<07272>
shall carry
<02986> (8686)
her afar off
<07350>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.
{afar...: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counsel
<03289> (8804)
against Tyre
<06865>_,
the crowning
<05849> (8688)
[city], whose merchants
<05503> (8802)
[are] princes
<08269>_,
whose traffickers
<03667>
[are] the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_?
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
it, to stain
<02490> (8763)
the pride
<01347>
of all glory
<06643>_,
[and] to bring into contempt
<07043> (8687)
all the honourable
<03513> (8737)
of the earth
<0776>_.
{to stain: Heb. to pollute}
Pass
<05674> (8798)
through thy land
<0776>
as a river
<02975>_,
O daughter
<01323>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
[there is] no more strength
<04206>_.
{strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched out
<05186> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
over the sea
<03220>_,
he shook
<07264> (8689)
the kingdoms
<04467>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath given a commandment
<06680> (8765)
against the merchant
<03667>
[city], to destroy
<08045> (8687)
the strong
<04581>
holds
<04581>
thereof. {against...: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong...: or, strengths}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)
rejoice
<05937> (8800)_,
O thou oppressed
<06231> (8794)
virgin
<01330>_,
daughter
<01323>
of Zidon
<06721>_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
pass over
<05674> (8798)
to Chittim
<03794>_;
there also shalt thou have no rest
<05117> (8799)_.
Behold the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_;
this people
<05971>
was not, [till] the Assyrian
<0804>
founded
<03245> (8804)
it for them that dwell in the wilderness
<06728>_:
they set up
<06965> (8689)
the towers
<0971>
thereof, they raised up
<06209> (8782)
the palaces
<0759>
thereof; [and] he brought
<07760> (8804)
it to ruin
<04654>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
ye ships
<0591>
of Tarshish
<08659>_:
for your strength
<04581>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_.
And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,
that Tyre
<06865>
shall be forgotten
<07911> (8737)
seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
according to the days
<03117>
of one
<0259>
king
<04428>_:
after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>
shall Tyre
<06865>
sing
<07892>
as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_.
{shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
Take
<03947> (8798)
an harp
<03658>_,
go about
<05437> (8798)
the city
<05892>_,
thou harlot
<02181> (8802)
that hast been forgotten
<07911> (8737)_;
make sweet
<03190> (8685)
melody
<05059> (8763)_,
sing many
<07235> (8685)
songs
<07892>_,
that thou mayest be remembered
<02142> (8735)_.
And it shall come to pass after the end
<07093>
of seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
will visit
<06485> (8799)
Tyre
<06865>_,
and she shall turn
<07725> (8804)
to her hire
<0868>_,
and shall commit fornication
<02181> (8804)
with all the kingdoms
<04467>
of the world
<0776>
upon the face
<06440>
of the earth
<0127>_.
And her merchandise
<05504>
and her hire
<0868>
shall be holiness
<06944>
to the LORD
<03068>_:
it shall not be treasured
<0686> (8735)
nor laid up
<02630> (8735)_;
for her merchandise
<05504>
shall be for them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to eat
<0398> (8800)
sufficiently
<07654>_,
and for durable
<06266>
clothing
<04374>_.
{durable: Heb. old}
