Iz 23, 1-18

1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. 5 As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. 6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. 7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. 8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? 9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. 10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof. 12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. 14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. 15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. 16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. 17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. 18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

Verš 1

The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.

Jer 47:4 - Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

Ez 26:1 - And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Ez 27:1 - The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

Ez 28:1 - The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

Za 9:3 - And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.

Iz 23,1 - Fenickí obchodníci z mesta Týrus sa pri návrate z obchodnej cesty dozvedeli už pri krajine Cetim (asi mesto Kition na ostrove Cyprus), že nepriateľ im zbúral mesto. O taršišských lodiach pozri 2,16.

Iz 23,2 - Mesto Týrus založili kedysi kupci z mesta Sidon, ktoré ležalo asi 40 km severne od Týru. Preto sa Týrus volal "dcérou Sidonu" (verš 12).

Iz 23,3 - Egyptské obilie, ktoré týrski kupci dovážali cez more (cez veľkú vodu), právom sa volalo "žatvou Nílu", veď Egypt tejto rieke ďakuje za svoju úrodnosť; pozri pozn. k 19,5 n. Šichor je tu len iný názov Nílu. Tak sa volalo vlastne len jedno rameno tejto rieky.

Iz 23,4 - Zosobnená "morská pevnosť", t. j. skalnatý ostrov, na ktorom stálo mesto Týrus, privoláva Sidonu, že stojí zahanbený ako žena, ktorá nemala nikdy deti. Sidon ich síce mal, ale prišiel o ne.

Iz 23,6 - Obyvateľom spustošeného mesta nepozostáva iné, len ísť do kolónii, a to čím ďalej, do Taršišu (pozri pozn. k 2,16).

Iz 23,8 - Týrus rozhodoval o kráľovských korunách a jeho kupci žili ako kniežatá.

Iz 23,10 - Kolónia Taršiš môže tiež už rozšíriť svoje hranice, lebo zahynulo mesto Týrus, ktoré ako zvieracím pásom obmedzovalo jeho slobodu.

Iz 23,12 - Týrus bol panenský, pretože sa ho nepriateľ doteraz nikdy nezmocnil.

Iz 23,13 - Ťažký a neistý verš.

Iz 23,15-18 - Nevieme, prečo sa tieto roky volajú rokmi jedného kráľa.
