Isa.|23:1|-|The burden concerning |a|Tyre:Howl, O ships of Tarshish,
For |1|it is destroyed—lacking house,Lacking entrance. From as far away as the land of |2|Kittim
It is told to them.
Isa.|23:2|-|Hush, you inhabitants of the coastland,You, whom the merchants of Sidon,
Who cross the sea, have replenished.
Isa.|23:3|-|And by way of many watersThe grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue;
And she was profit to the nations.
Isa.|23:4|-|Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken,The stronghold of the sea, saying,
I have not been in labor nor given birth;Neither have I brought up young men,
Nor have I raised virgins.
Isa.|23:5|-|When the report reaches Egypt,They will writhe in pain at the report concerning Tyre.
Isa.|23:6|-|Cross over to Tarshish;Howl, you inhabitants of the coastland.
Isa.|23:7|-|Is this your jubilant city,Whose antiquity is from the days of antiquity,
Whose feet carried her off afar to sojourn?
Isa.|23:8|-|Who has purposed thisAgainst Tyre, the giver of crowns,
Whose merchants were princes,Whose traders were the honorable of the earth?
Isa.|23:9|-|Jehovah of hosts has purposed it,To defile the pride of all beauty,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
Isa.|23:10|-|Overflow your land like a river, O daughter of Tarshish;There is no more restraint.
Isa.|23:11|-|He has stretched out His hand over the sea;He has shaken kingdoms.
Jehovah has given commandment concerning CanaanTo destroy its strongholds.
Isa.|23:12|-|And He has said, You shall not continue to exult any longer,O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise; cross over to Kittim—There also you will have no rest.
Isa.|23:13|-|See the land of the |1|Chaldeans, this people! They were not—the Assyrians assigned it to desert animals; they raised their siege towers; they stripped their citadels; they brought it to ruin.
Isa.|23:14|-|Howl, O ships of Tarshish,For your stronghold is destroyed.
Isa.|23:15|-|In that day Tyre will be forgotten for |a|seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of the seventy years Tyre will be like her in the harlot’s song:
Isa.|23:16|-|Take a harp;Compass the city,
Forgotten harlot.Play well;
Abound in song,That you may be remembered.
Isa.|23:17|-|And at the end of the seventy years Jehovah will visit Tyre. And she will return to the wages of her harlotry and will be a harlot to all the kingdoms of the earth on land’s surface.
Isa.|23:18|-|And her profit and the wages of her harlotry will be dedicated to Jehovah; it will not be stored up, nor will it be hoarded, for her profit will be for those who dwell before Jehovah, as their sufficient food and their choice clothing.
