Isaiah 23
23
Shaking Tyre and Sidon
1The burden of Tyre. Wail, ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed. There is no house and no harbor. From the land of Cyprus, it was revealed to them.
2Be still, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, your messengers crossing the sea.
3On many waters the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her revenue and a marketplace of nations.
4Be ashamed, O Sidon. For the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not writhed or given birth. I have not reared young men or brought up maidens.”
5When the report reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.
6Cross over to Tarshish. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7Is this your jubilant city? Whose antiquity is from long ago, whose feet have taken her to settle in far off lands?
8Who planned this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of earth?
9Adonai-Tzva’ot has planned it, to defile the pride of all glory, to shame all the honored of earth.
10Overflow through your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! There is no restraint any more.
11His hand has stretched out over the sea, He has shaken the kingdoms. Adonai has given a commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy its strongholds.
12He said, “You will exult no more.” O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus— even there you will have no rest.
13Look, the land of the Chaldeans— this is the people who no longer exist. Assyria set it up for desert animals. They set up their siege towers; they stripped its palaces; they made it a ruin.
14Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For your stronghold is destroyed.
15Then it will come about in that day that Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, like the days of one king. At the end of 70 years it will happen to Tyre just as in the song of the prostitute:
16“Take a harp, stroll about the city, forgotten harlot! Skillfully play many songs, so you may be remembered.”
17Then it will come about after the end of 70 years that Adonai will take note of Tyre. She will return to her trade and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.
18 Yet her profit and her wages will be set apart to Adonai. They will not be stored up or hoarded. For her profit will be for those who dwell in the presence of Adonai, as ample food and as fine clothing.

CHAPTER 23
1The burden of Tyre. Ye ships of the sea, yell, for the house is destroyed, from whence comfort was wont to come; from the land of Chittim, and [it] was showed to them.
2Be ye still, that dwell in the isle, the merchants of Sidon; [the] men passing [over] the sea filled thee in many waters;
3the seed of Nile is [the] harvest, the flood is the corn thereof, and it is made the merchandise of heathen men.
4Thou, Sidon, be ashamed, said the sea, the strength of the sea, and said, I travailed not of child, and I childed not, and I nourished not young men, and I brought not fully virgins to increasing.
5When it shall be heard in Egypt, they shall make sorrow, when they hear of Tyre.
6Pass ye the seas; yell ye, that dwell in the isle.
7Whether this city is not yours, that had glory from eld days in his eldness? the feet thereof shall lead it [a] far, to go in pilgrimage.
8Who thought this thing on Tyre, sometime crowned, whose merchants were princes, the sellers of merchandise thereof were noble men of [the] earth?
9The Lord of hosts thought this thing, that he should draw down the pride of all glory, and that he should bring to shame all the noble men of earth.
10Thou daughter of the sea, pass [over] thy land as a flood; a girdle is no more to thee.
11It stretched forth his hand above the sea, and troubled realms. The Lord sent against Canaan, for to all-break the strong men thereof;
12and he said, Thou maiden, the daughter of Sidon, that sufferest challenge, shalt no more add, that thou have glory. Rise thou, and pass over the sea into Chittim; there also no rest shall be to thee.
13Lo! the land of Chaldees, such a people was not; Assur founded that Tyre; they led over into captivity the strong men thereof; they [under] mined the houses thereof; they setted [or put] it into falling.
14Yell, ye ships of the sea, for your strength be destroyed.
15And it shall be, in that day, thou, Tyre, shalt be in forgetting by seventy years, as the days of one king; but after seventy years, as the song of a whore shall be to Tyre.
16Thou whore, given to forgetting, take an harp, compass the city; sing thou well, use thou oft a song, that mind be of thee.
17And it shall be, after seventy years, the Lord shall visit Tyre, and shall bring it again to his hire; and again it shall be, when it shall do fornication with all [the] realms of [the] earth, on the face of [the] earth.
18And the merchandises thereof and the meeds thereof shall be hallowed to the Lord; they shall not be hid, neither shall be laid up; for why the merchandise thereof shall be to them that dwell before the Lord, that they eat to fullness, and be clothed till to eldness [or oldness].
