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.

When the news reaches Egypt, they will be shaken by what has happened to Tyre.

Who planned this for royal Tyre, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the dignitaries of the earth?

Daughter Tarshish, travel back to your land, as one crosses the Nile; there is no longer any marketplace in Tyre.

At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the typical life span of a king. At the end of seventy years Tyre will try to attract attention again, like the prostitute in the popular song:

At the end of seventy years the Lord will revive Tyre. She will start making money again by selling her services to all the earth's kingdoms.
