1An oracle concerning Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is ruined so that no house remains to enter from the land of Kittim; the news has been revealed to them.2Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland, O merchant of Sidon who crosses the sea; they have filled you.3On many waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, became her produce, and she became the merchandise of the nations.4Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has said—the stronghold of the sea—saying, "I have not trembled, I have not given birth, and I have not reared young men or exalted virgins."5When the report reaches Egypt, they will tremble at the report concerning Tyre.6Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.7Is this your jubilant city from days of old, whose feet carried her from afar to sojourn?8Who planned this against Tyre, the crowning city whose traders are princes and whose merchants are the honored of the land?9The LORD of hosts planned it to profane the pride of all beauty, to bring low all the honored of the land.10Cross over your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no belt any longer.11He stretched out his hand over the sea; he made kingdoms tremble; the LORD commanded against Canaan to destroy her strongholds.12And he said, You shall no longer exult, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; to Kittim arise, cross over; also there you will find no rest.13Behold the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people that was not; Assyria founded her for wild beasts; they raised her towers, stripped her citadels, and made her a ruin.14Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is ruined.15And it shall happen in that day that Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king; at the end of seventy years Tyre will be like the song of the prostitute.16Take a lyre, go about the forgotten city, O prostitute; play skillfully, multiply songs, that you may be remembered.17And it shall happen at the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the land upon the face of the earth.18And her profit and her wages will be holy to the LORD; they will not be stored up and they will not be hoarded, because her profit will belong to those who dwell before the LORD, to eat their fill and to have clothing in abundance.
