¶ The .xxiii. Chapter.
¶ A prophecie agaynst Tyrus, and a promes that it
shalbe restored agayne.
A The burthen of note Tyre: Mourne
ye shyppes of &rhand; Tharsis, for
there commeth such destruccyon
that ye shall not haue an house
to entre into: Out of the lande
of Cittim haue they knowlege of thys plage.
Be styll, ye that dwell in þe; Ile, the marcha&ubar;tes
-- --
of Zidon, and such as passe ouer the
see, haue made þe; plenteous. The corne that
groweth by the great waters of Nilus, and
the frutes of the ryuer were hyr vitailes, so
that it became a comen marte of þe; nacions
&lhand; Be ashamed thou Zidon, for the see (eu&ebar;
the str&ebar;gth of the see) hath spok&ebar;, say&ebar;ge: I
haue not trauayled, ner broughte forth children,
ner norished vp young m&ebar;, or brought
vp virgins.
B Wh&abar; tydinges commeth to the Egipci&abar;s
they shall be sory for the rumore that goeth
of Tyre. Get you to Tharsis, mourne ye þt;
dwell in the Ile. Is not this that glorious
cyte of youres, which hath bene of olde antiquite?
Hyr awne fete shall cary hyr forth to
be a sogeourner in to a farre countre. Who
hath deuysed thys agaynst Tyre (that geueth
garl&abar;des vnto other cities) whose marchauntes
are princes, and whose captaines
are honorable in the worlde? Euen the lord
of hoostes hath deuysed thys, to put downe
the pryde of all such as be glorious, and to
mynish all them that be proude vp&obar; earth:
Get the out of thy l&abar;de vnto þe; daughter of
Tharsis, seyng thou hast nomore strength.
C He that smote the kyngdomes together,
holdeth out his hande ouer the see: euen the
lorde him self hath geuen a c&obar;maundement
agaynst the same comen place of m&abar;rch&abar;dise,
that they shall vtterly destroye þe; might
therof. And he sayd: &lhand; Make nomore thy
boast (O virgin thou daughter Zidon) thou
shalt be brought downe: Up, get the ouer
vnto Citim, where neuertheles thou shalt
haue no rest. Behold, this people came not
of the Caldees, but Assur made them str&obar;g
with great shippes. They set vp the strong
holdes therof, ∧ destroyed his palaces, ∧ he
brought it &ibar; decaye. Mourne ye shippes of
tharsis for your str&ebar;gth is brought downe.
D And in that daye shall Tyre be forgotten
seu&ebar;tye yeares (accordinge to the yeares of
one kyng) and after the ende of the seu&ebar;tye
yeares shall Tyre syng as doth an harlot.
Take an harpe, ∧ go aboute the citye (thou
harlot that hast bene forgott&ebar;) make swete
melody, sing moo songes, that thou mayest
be had in remembra&ubar;ce. And after the ende
of the seuentye yeares shall the lorde visyt
Tyre, ∧ she shall conuerte vnto her &lhand; rewarde,
and shall committe fornicaci&obar; with
all the kyngdomes of the earth þt; are in the
worlde. Their occupieng also and their rewarde
shalbe holy vnto þe; lord. Their gaynes
shall not be layde vp ner kepte &ibar; stoare,
but it shalbe theyrs that dwell before the
lorde, that they maye eate ynough, ∧ haue
clothyng sufficient.
