The pronouncement concerning Tyre: Wail, you ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the seaAnd were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.Be ashamed, Sidon, For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,“ I have neither been in labor nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor raised virgins.”When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish over the report of Tyre.Pass over to Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland.Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to bring her to colonize distant places?Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?The Lord of armies has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty, To despise all the honored of the earth.Overflow your land like the Nile, you daughter of Tarshish, There is no more restraint.He has stretched His hand out over the sea, He has made the kingdoms tremble; The Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.He has said,“ You shall not be jubilant anymore, you crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.”Behold, the land of the Chaldeans— this is the people that did not exist; Assyria allocated it for desert creatures— they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.Wail, you ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold is destroyed.Now on that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:Take your harp, wander around the city, You forgotten prostitute; Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs, That you may be remembered.It will come about at the end of seventy years that the Lord will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her prostitute’s wages and commit prostitution with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.Her profit and her prostitute’s wages will be sacred to the Lord; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her profit will become sufficient food and magnificent attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord.

They hung up shield and helmet on you; they presented your splendor.The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.“ Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they paid for your merchandise.Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your traders; with human lives and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise.Those from Beth togarmah gave horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise.The sons of Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were your market; they brought ivory tusks and ebony as your payment.Aram was your customer because of the abundance of your goods; they paid for your merchandise with emeralds, purple, colorfully woven cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies.Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of Minnith, cakes, honey, oil, and balsam they paid for your merchandise.Damascus was your customer because of the abundance of your goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool.Vedan and Javan paid for your merchandise from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia, and spice reed were among your merchandise.Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were your customers for lambs, rams, and goats; for these they were your customers.The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your merchandise with the best of all balsam oil, and with all kinds of precious stones, and gold.Haran, Canneh, Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of violet and colorfully woven cloth, and in blankets of two colors, and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise.The ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very glorious In the heart of the seas.“ Your rowers have brought you Into great waters; The east wind has broken you In the heart of the seas.Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise, Your seamen and your sailors, Your repairers of leaks, your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are in you, With all your contingent that is in your midst, Will fall into the heart of the seas On the day of your overthrow.At the sound of the cry of your sailors, The pasture lands will shake.

May those who say,“ Aha, aha!” be turned back Because of their shame.

And Hamath also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.For Tyre built herself a fortress, And piled up silver like dust, And gold like the mud of the streets.Behold, the Lord will dispossess her And throw her wealth into the sea; And she will be consumed with fire.

May those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me,“ Aha, aha!”
