RF ISA 23:1 ODE 31.
The Burden of Tyre.
You ships of Tarshish, wail,
For Home and Port lie waste,
You Learn from Kithirn's land!
RF ISA 23:2 Men of the Coasts be dumb!
And Zidon rich by seaborne trade,
The River's harvests grew,
RF ISA 23:3 Spring sown by many streams,
For you, the Nation's merchant.
For grain from many streams,
The early fruit of brooks,—
She was the Nation's Mart.
RF ISA 23:4 Faint, Zidon;—for the Sea,
The Mighty Sea declares,—
"I writhed not, nor bore child,
And lads have not brought up,
Or educated girls—
RF ISA 23:5 Yet as the Mitzeraim listen,
They grieve to hear of Tzur.
RF ISA 23:6 Tarshish is overwhelmed.;
Men of the Islands howl:
RF ISA 23:7 "Is this your pleasant home
From very ancient days?
Must you now quit your home,
To go and dwell far off?
RF ISA 23:8 Who purposed this on Tzur,
The Lady of the Crown?
Her Merchants were all Princes,
Her Traders Lords of Earth!"
RF ISA 23:9 THE PROPHET.
"The LORD OF HOSTS designed,
To dash all haughty pride,
Depress all great on earth!
RF ISA 23:10 "Flow on your land like a brook That has lost its embankment,
You poor daughter of Tarshish!"
RF ISA 23:11 For HE points His hand to the sea, and her empire shakes;
The LORD orders to break down her mercantile towers,
RF ISA 23:12 Says "Triumph no more, drunken daughter of Tarshish!
Rise! pass over to Kittim,—and there find no rest."
RF ISA 23:13 "See the land of the Kasdim,—
Till Ashur built her for wild-tribes,
Raised her towers and set up her halls."
RF ISA 23:14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish I your harbor is desert;
RF ISA 23:15 And Tzur is forgotten for seventy years,
Like the days of a king,—but the seventy years ended,
Tzur shall be, as it says in the "Song of the Harlot"
RF ISA 23:16 Take a harp,—walk the Town,—now, you harlot forgotten,
Sing sweet roundels to call your remembrance to mind."
RF ISA 23:17 At the seventy years end, that the LORD laid on Tzur,
She will love the whore's wages and seek prostitution
With all the Earth's Kingdoms on face of the land!
RF ISA 23:18 But her Trade and the Wealth will belong to the LORD,—
Nor treasured or stored, and be for the LORD'S People,—
Wealth for food to content, and for beautiful robes!
