10 Listen, daughter,(A) and pay careful attention:(B)
    Forget your people(C) and your father’s house.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;(D)
    honor(E) him, for he is your lord.(F)
12 The city of Tyre(G) will come with a gift,[a](H)
    people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 All glorious(I) is the princess within her chamber;
    her gown is interwoven with gold.(J)
14 In embroidered garments(K) she is led to the king;(L)
    her virgin companions(M) follow her—
    those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,(N)
    they enter the palace of the king.

  1. Psalm 45:12 Or A Tyrian robe is among the gifts

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
