A burden of Tsor. Wail, ships of Tarshish, because it is ruined, from the house, from coming, from the land of Kittim, it is revealed to them.

Be silent, inhabitants of the island, merchant of Tsidon, crossing the sea, they filled you.

And in much water, seed of the Shihor, harvest of the Nile, its produce, and it became merchandise of nations.

Be ashamed, Tsidon, because the sea said, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, I have honored virgins.

As it is heard concerning Mitsrayim, they will travail, as it is heard concerning Tsor.

Cross over to Tarshish, wail, inhabitants of the island.

Is this your exultation from ancient times, from its beginning? Its feet will bring it from afar to sojourn.

Who planned this against Tsor, the bestower, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were honored ones of the earth?

יהוה of hosts planned it, to defile the pride of all splendor, to humble all honored ones of the earth.

Cross over your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no barrier anymore.

His hand stretched out over the sea, He made kingdoms tremble. יהוה commanded concerning Kena'an, to destroy its strongholds.

And He said, You will no longer exult, oppressed virgin daughter of Tsidon. Kittim, arise, cross over; even there you will find no rest.

Behold, the land of the Kasdim, this is the people; it was not Ashshur that founded it for the desert dwellers. They set up its watchtowers, they raised its palaces, He made it a ruin.

Wail, ships of Tarshish, because your stronghold is ruined.

And it will be on that day, and Tsor will be forgotten seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will be for Tsor as the song of a harlot.

Take a lyre, go around the city, harlot, forgotten one. Play well, sing many songs, so that you may be remembered.

And it will be at the end of seventy years, יהוה will visit Tsor, and she will return to her hire, and she will play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.

And her merchandise and her hire will be holy to יהוה. It will not be stored up, nor will it be hoarded, because for those who dwell before יהוה her merchandise will be for eating to satisfaction and for covering, ancient.
