Isaiah 23

23
1The burden of Tzor [a rock]. Howl, you2f ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper]; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim [Bruisers] it is revealed to them.
2Be still, you2f inhabitants of the isle; youi whom the merchants of Tzidon [Hunting], that pass over the sea, have replenished.
3And by great waters the seed of Shichor [Dark], the harvest of the river (Nile), [is] her revenue; and she was the marketplace of nations.
4Be youi ashamed, O Tzidon [Hunting]: for the sea has 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.
5As at the report concerning Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], [so] shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tzor [a rock].
6Pass you2f over to Tarshish [yellow jasper]; howl, you2f 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.
8Who has taken this counsel against Tzor [a rock], the crowning [city], whose merchants [are] princes, whose traffickers [are] the honourable of the earth?
9The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, [and] to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
10Pass through youri land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish [yellow jasper]: [there is] no more strength.
11He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has given a commandment against the merchant [city], to destroy the strong holds thereof.
12And he said, youi shall no more rejoice, O youi oppressed virgin, daughter of Tzidon [Hunting]: arise, pass over to Kittim [Bruisers]; there also shall youi have no rest.
13Behold the land of the Kasdim [clod-breakers]; this people was not, [till] the Ashur (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.
14Howl, you2f ships of Tarshish [yellow jasper]: for your strength is laid waste.
15And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sing as an prostitute.
16Take an harp, go about the city, youi prostitute that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that youi may be remembered.
17And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will visit Tzor [a rock], and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
18And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
