1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tarshish, for it was laid waste from a house from going in: from the land of Chittim it was uncovered to them. 2 Be ye silent, O inhabitants of the isle; the merchants of Zidon passing over the sea filled thee. 3 On many waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river her produce; and she shall be the emporium of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea said, the strength of the sea, saying, I was not pained, I brought not forth, and I caused not youths to grow, and I raised not up virgins. 5 As the hearing to Egypt; they shall be pained as the hearing of Tyre. 6 Pass ye through Tarshish; wail, ye inhabitants of the isle. 7 This to you the exulting from the days of old, her beginning; her feet shall fail her sojourning from far off. 8 Who will counsel this against Tyre, encircled with a crown, whom her merchants, chiefs; her merchants the honored of the earth. 9 Jehovah of armies purposed it to profane the pride of all glory, to make light all the honored of the earth.
