Context
14Ombolezeni, enyi meli za Tarshishi;
ngome yenu imeangamizwa! 15Wakati huo Tiro utasahauliwa kwa miaka sabini, muda wa maisha ya mfalme. Lakini mwisho wa miaka hiyo sabini, itakuwa kwa Tiro kama ilivyo katika wimbo wa kahaba: 16“Twaa kinubi, tembea mjini kote,
ewe kahaba uliyesahauliwa;
piga kinubi vizuri, imba nyimbo nyingi,
ili upate kukumbukwa.” 17Mwishoni mwa miaka sabini, Bwana atashughulika na Tiro. Naye atarudia ajira yake ya ukahaba, na atafanya biashara yake na falme zote juu ya uso wa dunia. 18Lakini faida na mapato yake yatawekwa wakfu kwa Bwana; hayatahifadhiwa wala kufichwa. Faida zake zitakwenda kwa wale wakaao mbele za Bwana kwa ajili ya chakula tele na mavazi mazuri.
