The Burden against Tyre

(Ezekiel 26:1–21)

23[This is] the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish,[fn] for [Tyre] is laid waste, without house [or] harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.[fn]

2Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.[fn]

3On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations.

4Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”

5When the report [reaches] Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

6Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

7Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity whose feet have taken her to settle far away?

8Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?

9The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

10Cultivate[fn] your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.

11[The LORD] has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. [He] has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

12He said, “You shall rejoice no more O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus—even there you will find no rest

13Look at the land of the Chaldeans[fn]—a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.

14Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!

15At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the span of a king’s life. But at the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

16“Take up your harp, stroll through the city, O forgotten harlot. Make sweet melody, sing many a song, so you will be remembered.”

17And at the end of seventy years, the LORD will restore Tyre. Then she will return to hire as a prostitute and sell herself to all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. 18Yet her profits and wages will be set apart to the LORD; they will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothing.


23:1 Or Wail, O fleet of trading ships; also in verse 14

23:1 Hebrew Kittim; also in verse 12

23:2 DSS and LXX; MT whom the seafarers have enriched

23:10 DSS and some LXX manuscripts; MT Overflow

23:13 That is, the Babylonians
