(Ezekiel 26:1–21)
1
The burden of Tyrus. Howle, yee shippes of for it is destroied, so that there is none none shall come from the lande of it is reueiled vnto them.
2
Be still, yee that dwell in the the marchantes of Zidon, and such as passe ouer the sea, haue replenished thee.
3
The seede of Nilus growing by the abundance of waters, and the haruest of the riuer was her reuenues, and she was a marte of the nations.
4
Be ashamed, thou for the sea hath spoken, euen the strength of the sea, saying, I haue not trauailed, nor brought forth children, neither nourished yong men, nor brought vp virgins.
5
When the fame commeth to the Egyptians, they shall be sorie, concerning the rumour of Tyrus.
6
Goe you ouer to howle, yee that dwell in the yles.
7
Is not this that your glorious citie? her antiquitie is of ancient her owne feete shall leade her afarre off to be a soiourner.
8
Who hath decreed this against Tyrus (that crowneth men) whose marchantes are princes? whose chapmen are the nobles of the worlde?
9
The Lord of hostes hath decreed this, to staine the pride of all glorie, and to bring to contempt all them that be glorious in the earth.
10
Passe through thy lande like a flood to the daughter of there is no more strength.
11
He stretched out his hand vpon the he shooke the the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning the place of marchandise, to destroy the power thereof.
12
And he saide, Thou shalt no more reioyce when thou art O virgin daughter of rise vp, goe ouer vnto yet there thou shalt haue no rest.
13
Behold the lande of the this was no Asshur founded it by the inhabitantes of the they set vp the towers they raised the palaces thereof and hee brought it to ruine.
14
Howle yee shippes of Tarshish, for your strength is destroyed.
15
And in that day shall Tyrus bee forgotten seuentie yeeres, (according to the yeeres of one King) at the ende of seuentie yeeres shall Tyrus sing as an harlot.
16
Take an harpe and go about the (thou harlot thou hast beene forgotten) make sweete melodie, sing moe songes that thou maiest be remembred.
17
And at the ende of seuentie yeres shall the Lord visite Tyrus, and shee shall returne to her wages, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdomes of the earth, that are in the world.
18
Yet her occupying and her wages shall bee holy vnto the it shall not be laied vp nor kept in store, but her marchandise shalbe for them that dwell before the Lord, to eate sufficiently, and to haue durable clothing.
