1 The burden of the cup of cursing, to give Tyre to drink. Wail, you who embark in ships of the sea, because their harbors are laid waste, so that none can enter in. From the land of Chittim it is coming upon them.⁠a 2 The inhabitants of the coastland are destroyed, the merchants who crossed the sea, who used to supply you. 3 She was the abundant marketplace for many nations; the harvest of the increase of the river was her revenue, and she became the marketplace of the nations. 4 The Sidonians are ashamed, because the west has spoken, which dwells in the strength of the sea, saying, “I have never been in labor, never conceived, never reared young men, nor brought up virgins tenderly.” 5 When they heard of the stroke with which the Egyptians were struck, the Tyrians quaked at the report. 6 They have crossed over to a province of the sea. Wail, inhabitants of the coastland! 7 Is this your strong city, Tyre, from ancient days? In olden times they brought her gifts from a distant land; now she is removed, to dwell far off. 8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, against her who used to give advice, whose merchants are princes and whose rulers are the nobles of the land? 9 The LORD of hosts is the counselor against her, to defile the glory of all the objects of rejoicing and to make contemptible all the nobles of the land. 10 Pass over your land like the waters of a river; flee to a province of the sea, for there is no more strength. 11 His power is lifted up against the sea, to make the kingdoms tremble; the LORD has given the command concerning the merchant city, to make an end of her strength. 12 And He said, “You will no longer be strong, you who did violence to the people who are in Sidon. Arise, pass over to Chittim; even there you will have no rest.” 13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people that formerly did not exist; the Assyrians founded it in the islands; they raised up their siege towers, they tore down her palaces, they have made her a ruinous heap. 14 Wail, you who embark in ships of the sea, for the seacoast of your strength is laid waste. 15 And at that time Tyre will be set aside for seventy years, according to the days of one king; at the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the prostitute, 16 “Your glory is changed; wander to another country, O city, you who have been like a prostitute, you who are doomed to oblivion. Your harp is turned to mourning and your song to lamentation; perhaps you may be remembered.” 17 And after the end of seventy years Tyre will be remembered before the LORD; and she will return to her place, and her trade will be abundant for all the kingdoms of the nations that are on the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her gain will be holy before the LORD; it will not be stored up or hoarded, for it will be for those who serve before the LORD, so that her gain may be for abundant food and for glorious garments.
