The Fall of Tyre

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:1 -

The pronouncement concerning Tyre:

Wail, you ships of Tarshish,

For Tyre is destroyed, without house or [fn]harbor;

It is reported to them from the land of [fn]Cyprus.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:2 -

Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland,

You merchants of Sidon;

[fn]Your messengers crossed the sea

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:3 -

And were on many waters.

The grain of the [fn]Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue;

And she was the market of nations.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:4 -

Be ashamed, Sidon,

For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,

“I have neither been in labor nor given birth,

I have neither brought up young men nor raised virgins.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:5 -

When the report reaches Egypt,

They will be in anguish over the report of Tyre.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:6 -

Pass over to Tarshish;

Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:7 -

Is this your jubilant city,

Whose origin is from antiquity,

Whose feet used to bring her to [fn]colonize distant places?

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:8 -

Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,

Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:9 -

The LORD of armies has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty,

To despise all the honored of the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:10 -

[fn]Overflow your land like the Nile, you daughter of Tarshish,

There is no more [fn]restraint.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:11 -

He has stretched His hand out over the sea,

He has made the kingdoms tremble;

The LORD has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:12 -

He has said, “You shall not be jubilant anymore, you crushed virgin daughter of Sidon.

Arise, pass over to [fn]Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:13 -

Behold, the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people that did not exist; Assyria allocated it for desert creatures—they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:14 -

Wail, you ships of Tarshish,

For your stronghold is destroyed.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:15 -

Now on that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:16 -

Take your harp, wander around the city,

You forgotten prostitute;

Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,

That you may be remembered.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:17 -

It will come about at the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her prostitute’s wages and commit prostitution with all the kingdoms [fn]on the face of the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:18 - Her profit and her prostitute’s wages will be sacred to the LORD; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her profit will become sufficient food and magnificent attire for those who dwell in the presence of the LORD.
