CHAP. XXIII.
1 The miserable ouerthrow of Tyre. 17 Their vnhappie returne.
2 Be still, yee inhabitants of the yle, thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that passe ouer the sea, haue replenished.2
5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shal they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6 Passe ye ouer to Tarshish, howle ye inhabitants of the yle.
7 Is this your ioyous citie, whose antiquitie is of ancient dayes? her owne feete shall cary her afarre off to soiourne.7
9 The Lord of hostes hath purposed it, to staine the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.9
10 Passe through thy land as a riuer O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.10
11 He stretched out his hand ouer the sea, hee shooke the kingdomes: the Lord hath giuen a commandement against the merchant citie, to destroy the strong holdes thereof.11
14 Howle ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
15 And it shall come to passe in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seuentie yeeres according to the dayes of one king: after the end of seuentie yeeres shall Tyre sing as an harlot.15
18 And her merchandize and her hire shall be holinesse to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid vp: for her merchandize shalbe for them that dwell before the Lord, to eate sufficiently, and for durable clothing.18
