Proclamation Against Tyre
Wail, you ships of Tarshish!
For it is laid waste,
So that there is no house, no harbor;
From the land of1 Cyprus it is revealed to them.
You merchants of Sidon,
1Whom those who cross the sea have filled.
The harvest of1 the River, is her revenue;
And ashe is a marketplace for the nations.
For the sea has spoken,
The strength of the sea, saying,
“I do not labor, nor bring forth children;
Neither do I rear young men,
Nor bring up virgins.”
Whose antiquity is from ancient days,
Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?
Whose merchants are princes,
Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
To1 bring to dishonor the bpride of all glory,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
He shook the kingdoms;
The Lord has given a commandment aagainst Canaan
To destroy its strongholds.
O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, across over to Cyprus;
There also you will have no rest.”
This people which was not;
Assyria founded it for bwild beasts of the desert.
They set up its towers,
They raised up its palaces,
And brought it to ruin.
For your strength is laid waste.
You forgotten harlot;
Make sweet melody, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.”
| << Isaiah 22:25 | Isaiah 23:2 >> |
