2: Be still,H1826 you inhabitantsH3427 of the coastland-H0339 You merchantsH5503 of Sidon,H6721 Whom those who crossH5674 the sea,H3220 have filled.H4390

3: And on watersH4325 greatH7227 the grainH2233 of Shihor,H7883 the harvestH7105 of the Nile,H2975 [is] her revenue-H8393 and she isH1961 a marketplace forH5505 the nations.H1471

4: Be ashamed,H0954 Sidon-H6721 forH3588 has spoken,H0559 the seaH3220 the strengthH4581 of the sea,H3220 saying,H0559 not,H3808 I do laborH2342 norH3808 bring forth children,H3205 and neitherH3808 do I rear upH1431 young men,H0970 [Nor] bringH7311 virgins.H1330

7: [Is] thisH2063 joyous [city]H5947 from days?H3117 ancientH6924 Whose antiquity [is]H6927 carried herH2986 Whose feetH7272 far offH7350 to dwell.H1481

8: WhoH4310 has taken counselH3289 thisH2063 againstH5921 Tyre,H6865 the crowning [city]H5849 WhoseH0834 merchants [are]H5503 princes,H8269 Whose traders [are]H3669 the honorableH3513 of the earth?H0776

9: YahwehH3069 of hostsH6635 has purposed itH3289 to bring to dishonorH2490 the prideH1347 of allH3605 glory,H6643 to bring into contemptH7043 allH3605 the honorableH3513 of the earth.H0776

10: Overflow throughH5674 your landH0776 like the Nile,H2975 daughterH1323 of Tarshish,H8659 [There is] noH0369 strengthH4206 more.H5750

11: His handH3027 He stretched outH5186 overH5921 the sea,H3220 He shookH7264 the kingdoms-H4467 YahwehH3068 has given a commandmentH6680 againstH0413 CanaanH3667 to destroyH8045 its strongholds.H4581

12: And He said,H0559 noH3808 You willH3254 moreH5750 rejoice,H5937 you oppressedH6231 virgin,H1330 daughterH1323 of Sidon.H6721 to Cyprus-H3794 Arise,H6965 cross overH5674 alsoH1571 thereH8033 noH3808 will have restH5117

13: BeholdH2005 the landH0776 of the Chaldeans-H3778 thisH2088 peopleH5971 not,H3808 [which] wasH1961 AssyriaH0804 founded itH3245 for wild beasts of the desert-H6728 they set upH6965 its towersH0971 they raised upH6209 its palacesH0759 [And] brought itH7760 to ruin.H4654

14: Wail,H3213 you shipsH0591 of Tarshish,H8659 forH3588 is laid wasteH7703 your strength.H4581

15: And it shall come to passH1961 in day,H3117 thatH1931 will be forgottenH7911 TyreH6865 seventyH7657 years,H8141 according to the daysH3117 of king.H4428 OneH0259 at the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 it will come to passH1961 to TyreH6865 as [in] the songH7892 of the harlot.H2181

16: TakeH3947 a harp,H3658 go aboutH5437 the city,H5892 You harlotH2181 forgotten-H7911 Make sweetH3190 melody,H5059 sing manyH7235 songs,H7892 thatH4616 you may be remembered.H2142

17: And it shall beH1961 at the endH7093 of seventyH7657 years,H8141 that will visitH6485 YahwehH3068 -H0853 Tyre,H6865 and she will returnH7725 to her hire,H0868 and commit fornicationH2181 withH0854 allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH0776 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earth.H0127

18: And will beH1961 Her gainH5504 and her payH0868 set apartH6944 for Yahweh-H3068 notH3808 it will be treasuredH0686 norH3808 laid up-H2630 forH3588 those who dwellH3427 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 will beH1961 for her gainH5504 to eatH0398 sufficiently,H7654 for clothingH4374 fine.H6266
