Thematic Bible



Here is a message about Tyre: Wail, you large ships, for the port is too devastated to enter! From the land of Cyprus this news is announced to them.

He said, "You will no longer celebrate, oppressed virgin daughter Sidon! Get up, travel to Cyprus, but you will find no relief there."

Go west across the sea to the coasts of Cyprus and see. Send someone east to Kedar and have them look carefully. See if such a thing as this has ever happened:


Ships will come from the coast of Kittim, and will afflict Asshur, and will afflict Eber, and he will also perish forever."

The ships of Kittim will come against him, leaving him disheartened. He will turn back and direct his indignation against the holy covenant. He will return and honor those who forsake the holy covenant.


They made your oars from oaks of Bashan; they made your deck with cypresses from the Kittean isles.


The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Dodanim.


They made your oars from oaks of Bashan; they made your deck with cypresses from the Kittean isles.
