The Fall of Tyre
1 The 1Or burden oforacle concerning AJosh 19:29; 1 Kin 5:1; Jer 25:22; 47:4; Ezek 26:1-27:36; Joel 3:4-8; Amos 1:9; Zech 9:2-4Tyre.
Wail, O BIs 2:16ships of CGen 10:4; 1 Kin 10:22Tarshish,
It is reported to them from the land of 3Heb KittimEGen 10:4; Is 23:12; Ezek 27:6Cyprus.
2 AIs 47:5Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland,
You merchants of Sidon;
1So DSS; M.T. Who passed over the sea, they replenished youYour messengers crossed the sea
3 And were on many waters.
AIs 19:7-9The grain of the 1Heb ShihorBJosh 13:3; 1 Chr 13:5; Jer 2:18Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue;
And she was the CEzek 27:3-23market of nations.
4 Be ashamed, O AGen 10:15, 19; Josh 11:8; Judg 10:6; Jer 25:22; 27:3; 47:4; Ezek 28:21, 22Sidon;
For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,
“I have neither travailed nor given birth,
I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins.”
5 When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in AEx 15:14-16; Josh 2:9-11anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 Pass over to AIs 23:1Tarshish;
Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
Whose origin is from antiquity,
Whose feet used to carry her to 1Lit sojourn afar offcolonize distant places?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre, AEzek 28:2the bestower of crowns,
Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
9 AIs 2:11; 13:11The Loʀᴅ of hosts has planned it, to BJob 40:11, 12; Dan 4:37defile the pride of all beauty,
To despise all the CIs 5:13; 9:15honored of the earth.
10 1Lit Pass overOverflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish,
There is no more 2Perhaps girdle or shipyardrestraint.
He has CIs 13:13made the kingdoms tremble;
The Loʀᴅ has given a command concerning Canaan to DIs 25:2; Zech 9:3, 4demolish its strongholds.
12 He has said, “AEzek 26:13, 14; Rev 18:22You shall exult no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to 1Heb KittimBIs 23:1Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.”
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people which was not; AIs 10:5Assyria appointed it for BIs 13:21; 18:6desert creatures—they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, CIs 10:7they made it a ruin.
14 Wail, O AIs 2:16; Ezek 27:25, 26ships of Tarshish,
For your stronghold is destroyed.
15 Now in that day Tyre will be forgotten for AJer 25:11, 22seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
16 Take your harp, walk about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.
17 It will come about at AIs 23:15the end of seventy years that the Loʀᴅ will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her harlot’s wages and will BEzek 16:25-29; Nah 3:4play the harlot with all the kingdoms 1Lit of the earth on the face of the landon the face of the earth. 18 Her APs 72:10, 11; Is 60:5-9; Mic 4:13gain and her harlot’s wages will be BEx 28:36; Zech 14:20set apart to the Loʀᴅ; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Loʀᴅ.
