ylt @Isaiah:23:1 @The Burden of Tyre . Howl , ye ships of Tarshish , For it hath been destroyed , Without house , without entrance , From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them . ylt @Isaiah:23:2 @Be silent , ye inhabitants of the isle , Trader of Zidon , passing the sea , they filled thee . ylt @Isaiah:23:3 @And in many waters [is ] the seed of Sihor , The harvest of the brook [is ] her increase , And she is a mart of nations . ylt @Isaiah:23:4 @Be ashamed , O Zidon ; for the sea spake , The strength of the sea , saying : 'I have not been pained , nor have I brought forth , Nor have I nourished young men , [nor ] brought up virgins .' ylt @Isaiah:23:5 @As [at ] the report of Egypt they are pained , So [at ] the report of Tyre . ylt @Isaiah:23:6 @Pass over to Tarshish , howl , ye inhabitants of the isle , ylt @Isaiah:23:7 @Is this your exulting one ? From the days of old [is ] her antiquity , Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn . ylt @Isaiah:23:8 @Who hath counselled this against Tyre , The crowning one , whose traders [are ] princes , Her merchants the honoured of earth ?' ylt @Isaiah:23:9 @Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it , To pollute the excellency of all beauty , To make light all the honoured of earth . ylt @Isaiah:23:10 @Pass through thy land as a brook , Daughter of Tarshish , there is no more a girdle . ylt @Isaiah:23:11 @His hand He hath stretched out over the sea , He hath caused kingdoms to tremble , Jehovah hath charged concerning the merchant one , To destroy her strong places . ylt @Isaiah:23:12 @And He saith , 'Thou dost not add any more to exult , O oppressed one , virgin daughter of Zidon , To Chittim arise , pass over , Even there -- there is no rest for thee .' ylt @Isaiah:23:13 @Lo , the land of the Chaldeans -- this people was not , Asshur founded it for the Ziim , They raised its watch-towers , They lifted up her palaces , -- He hath appointed her for a ruin ! ylt @Isaiah:23:14 @Howl , ye ships of Tarshish , For your strength hath been destroyed . ylt @Isaiah:23:15 @And it hath come to pass , in that day , That forgotten is Tyre seventy years , According to the days of one king . At the end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the harlot . ylt @Isaiah:23:16 @Take a harp , go round the city , O forgotten harlot , play well , Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered . ylt @Isaiah:23:17 @And it hath come to pass , At the end of seventy years Jehovah inspecteth Tyre , And she hath repented of her gift , That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground . ylt @Isaiah:23:18 @And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to Jehovah , Not treasured up nor stored , For to those sitting before Jehovah is her merchandise , To eat to satiety , and for a lasting covering !
