| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon; your agents have crossed the sea |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3over deep water. Tyre's revenue was the grain from Shihor--the harvest of the Nile. She was the merchant among the nations. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Be ashamed, Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: "I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5When the news reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish over the news about Tyre. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Cross over to Tarshish; wail, inhabitants of the coastland! |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Is this your jubilant city, whose origin was in ancient times, whose feet have taken her to reside far away? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The LORD of Armies planned it, to desecrate all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Overflow your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer anything to restrain you. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He stretched out his hand over the sea; he made kingdoms tremble. The LORD has commanded that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed. |

| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Look at the land of the Chaldeans--a people who no longer exist. Assyria destined it for desert creatures. They set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They made it a ruin. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Wail, ships of Tarshish, because your fortress is destroyed! |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15On that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years--the life span of one king. At the end of seventy years, what the song says about the prostitute will happen to Tyre: |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Pick up your lyre, stroll through the city, you forgotten prostitute. Play skillfully, sing many a song so that you will be remembered. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And at the end of the seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre and she will go back into business, prostituting herself with all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But her profits and wages will be dedicated to the LORD. They will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live in the LORD's presence, to provide them with ample food and sacred clothing. |
