10 Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear;
    forget your people and your father’s house;
11     and the king will desire your beauty.
Since he is your lord, bow to him;
12     the people[a] of Tyre will sue your favor with gifts,
    the richest of the people 13 with all kinds of wealth.

The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;[b]
14     in many-colored robes she is led to the king,
    with her virgin companions, her escort,[c] in her train.
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
    as they enter the palace of the king.

16 Instead of your fathers shall be your sons;
    you will make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations;
    therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever.
