14 Howl ye ships of Tarshish, for your [a]strength is destroyed.

15 And in that day shall Tyre be forgotten seventy years (according to the years of one King) at the end of [b]seventy years shall Tyre [c]sing as an harlot.

16 Take an harp and go about the city (thou harlot that hast been forgotten) [d]make sweet melody, sing more songs that thou mayest be remembered.
