23:1 The burden 4853 of Tyre 6865. Howl 3213 8685, ye ships 591 of Tarshish 8659; for it is laid waste 7703 8795, so that there is no house 1004, no entering in 935 8800: from the land 776 of Chittim 3794 it is revealed 1540 8738 to them.

23:2 Be still 1826 8798, ye inhabitants 3427 8802 of the isle 339; thou whom the merchants 5503 8802 of Zidon 6721, that pass over 5674 8802 the sea 3220, have replenished 4390 8765.(still: Heb. silent)

23:3 And by great 7227 waters 4325 the seed 2233 of Sihor 7883, the harvest 7105 of the river 2975, [is] her revenue 8393; and she is a mart 5505 of nations 1471.

23:4 Be thou ashamed 954 8798, O Zidon 6721: for the sea 3220 hath spoken 559 8804, [even] the strength 4581 of the sea 3220, saying 559 8800, I travail 2342 8804 not, nor bring forth children 3205 8804, neither do I nourish up 1431 8765 young men 970, [nor] bring up 7311 8790 virgins 1330.

23:5 As at the report 8088 concerning Egypt 4714, [so] shall they be sorely pained 2342 8799 at the report 8088 of Tyre 6865.

23:6 Pass ye over 5674 8798 to Tarshish 8659; howl 3213 8685, ye inhabitants 3427 8802 of the isle 339.

23:7 [Is] this your joyous 5947 [city], whose antiquity 6927 [is] of ancient 6924 days 3117? her own feet 7272 shall carry 2986 8686 her afar off 7350 to sojourn 1481 8800.(afar…: Heb. from afar off)

23:8 Who hath taken this counsel 3289 8804 against Tyre 6865, the crowning 5849 8688 [city], whose merchants 5503 8802 [are] princes 8269, whose traffickers 3667 [are] the honourable 3513 8737 of the earth 776?

23:9 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 hath purposed 3289 8804 it, to stain 2490 8763 the pride 1347 of all glory 6643, [and] to bring into contempt 7043 8687 all the honourable 3513 8737 of the earth 776.(to stain: Heb. to pollute)

23:10 Pass 5674 8798 through thy land 776 as a river 2975, O daughter 1323 of Tarshish 8659: [there is] no more strength 4206.(strength: Heb. girdle)

23:11 He stretched out 5186 8804 his hand 3027 over the sea 3220, he shook 7264 8689 the kingdoms 4467: the LORD 3068 hath given a commandment 6680 8765 against the merchant 3667 [city], to destroy 8045 8687 the strong 4581 holds 4581 thereof.(against…: or, concerning a merchantman)(the merchant city: Heb. Canaan)(strong…: or, strengths)

23:12 And he said 559 8799, Thou shalt no more 3254 8686 rejoice 5937 8800, O thou oppressed 6231 8794 virgin 1330, daughter 1323 of Zidon 6721: arise 6965 8798, pass over 5674 8798 to Chittim 3794; there also shalt thou have no rest 5117 8799.

23:13 Behold the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778; this people 5971 was not, [till] the Assyrian 804 founded 3245 8804 it for them that dwell in the wilderness 6728: they set up 6965 8689 the towers 971 thereof, they raised up 6209 8782 the palaces 759 thereof; [and] he brought 7760 8804 it to ruin 4654.

23:14 Howl 3213 8685, ye ships 591 of Tarshish 8659: for your strength 4581 is laid waste 7703 8795.

23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day 3117, that Tyre 6865 shall be forgotten 7911 8737 seventy 7657 years 8141, according to the days 3117 of one 259 king 4428: after the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141 shall Tyre 6865 sing 7892 as an harlot 2181 8802.(shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot)

23:16 Take 3947 8798 an harp 3658, go about 5437 8798 the city 5892, thou harlot 2181 8802 that hast been forgotten 7911 8737; make sweet 3190 8685 melody 5059 8763, sing many 7235 8685 songs 7892, that thou mayest be remembered 2142 8735.

23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141, that the LORD 3068 will visit 6485 8799 Tyre 6865, and she shall turn 7725 8804 to her hire 868, and shall commit fornication 2181 8804 with all the kingdoms 4467 of the world 776 upon the face 6440 of the earth 127.

23:18 And her merchandise 5504 and her hire 868 shall be holiness 6944 to the LORD 3068: it shall not be treasured 686 8735 nor laid up 2630 8735; for her merchandise 5504 shall be for them that dwell 3427 8802 before 6440 the LORD 3068, to eat 398 8800 sufficiently 7654, and for durable 6266 clothing 4374.(durable: Heb. old)
