Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 023

23:001

The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in; from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them

23:002

Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast-land; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished

23:003

And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations

23:004

Be thou ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: 'I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I reared young men, nor brought up virgins.

23:005

When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre

23:006

Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the coast-land

23:007

Is this your joyous city, whose feet in antiquity, in ancient days, carried her afar off to sojourn

23:008

Who hath devised this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth

23:009

HaShem of hosts hath devised it, to pollute the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth

23:010

Overflow thy land as the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! there is no girdle any more

23:011

He hath stretched out His hand over the sea, He hath shaken the kingdoms; HaShem hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof

23:012

And He said: 'Thou shalt no more rejoice.' O thou oppressed virgin daughter of Zidon, arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shalt thou have no rest

23:013

Behold, the land of the Chaldeans--this is the people that was not, when Asshur founded it for shipmen--they set up their towers, they overthrew the palaces thereof; it is made a ruin

23:014

Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste

23:015

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king; after the end of seventy years it shall fare with Tyre as in the song of the harlot

23:016

Take a harp, go about the city, thou harlot long forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered

23:017

And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that HaShem will remember Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall have commerce with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth

23:018

And her gain and her hire shall be holiness to HaShem; it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her gain shall be for them that dwell before HaShem, to eat their fill, and for stately clothing
