1 The ^aoracle concerning ^bTyre.

Wail, O ^cships of Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste, ^dwithout house or harbor!
From ^ethe land of Cyprus ^{▼▼Hebrew Kittim; also verse 12}
it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, O inhabitants of the coast;
the merchants of ^gSidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.
3 And on many waters
your revenue was the grain of Shihor,
the harvest of the Nile;
you were ^hthe merchant of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O ⁱSidon, for the sea has spoken,
the stronghold of the sea, saying:
“I have neither labored nor given birth,
I have neither reared young men
nor brought up young women.”
5 When the report comes to Egypt,
they will be in anguish ^{▼▼Hebrew they will have labor pains} over the report about Tyre.
6 ^kCross over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coast!
7 Is this your exultant city
^lwhose origin is from days of old,
whose feet carried her
to settle far away?
8 Who has purposed this
against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants were princes,
whose traders were the honored of the earth?
9 The Lord of hosts has purposed it,
^mto defile the pompous pride of all glory, ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for glory and hosts sound alike}
to dishonor all the honored of the earth.
10 Cross over your land like the Nile,
O daughter of Tarshish;
there is no restraint anymore.
11 ^oHe has stretched out his hand over the sea;
he has shaken the kingdoms;
the Lord has given command concerning Canaan
to destroy its strongholds.
12 And he said:
“You will no more exult,
O oppressed virgin daughter of ^pSidon;
arise, ^qcross over to ^rCyprus,
even there you will have no rest.”
13 Behold the land of ^sthe Chaldeans! This is the people that was not; ^{▼▼Or that has become nothing} Assyria destined it for wild beasts. They erected ^utheir siege towers, they stripped her palaces bare, they made her a ruin.

14 ^vWail, O ships of Tarshish,
for your stronghold is laid waste.
15 In that day Tyre will be forgotten for ^wseventy years, like the days ^{▼▼Or lifetime} of one king. At the end of ^yseventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:

Isaiah 47:15

15 Such to you are those with whom you have labored,
who have done business with you from your youth;
they wander about, each in his own direction;
there is no one to save you.

Revelation of John 13:16-17

16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant} ^aato be marked on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, ^abthe name of the beast or ^acthe number of its name.

Revelation of John 18:3

3 For all nations have drunk ^{▼▼Some manuscripts fallen by}
^aethe wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and ^afthe kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and ^agthe merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

Revelation of John 18:9

9 And ^ahthe kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, ^aiwill weep and wail over her ^ajwhen they see the smoke of her burning.

Revelation of John 18:15

15 ^akThe merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, ^alwill stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

Revelation of John 18:20

20 ^amRejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and ^anapostles and prophets,
for ^aoGod has given judgment for you against her!”

Revelation of John 18:23

23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and ^apthe voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for ^aqyour merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived ^arby your sorcery.
