1 The burden of Tzor. Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Tzidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
3 On great waters the seed of the Shichor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the market of nations.
4 Be ashamed, Tzidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins
5 When the report comes to Mitzrayim, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tzor.
6 Pass over to Tarshish; wail, you inhabitants of the coast.
7 Is this your joyous [city], whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
8 Who has purposed this against Tzor, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the eretz?
9 The LORD of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the eretz.
10 Pass through your land as the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.
11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea, he has shaken the kingdoms: the LORD has given mitzvah concerning Kana`an, to destroy the strongholds of it.
12 He said, You shall no more rejoice, you oppressed virgin daughter of Tzidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shall you have no rest.
13 Behold, the land of the Kasdim: this people was not; the Ashshur founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces of it; they made it a ruin.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold is laid waste
15 It shall come to pass in that day, that Tzor shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it shall be to Tzor as in the song of the prostitute.
16 Take a harp, go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered.
17 It shall happen after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tzor, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the eretz.
18 Her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
