Isaiah 23

The Fall of Tyre

1The 1oracleH4853 concerning 2TyreH6865. WailH3213, O 3shipsH591 of 4TarshishH8659, For Tyre is destroyedH7703, withoutH4480 houseH1004 or 56harborH935; It is reportedH1540 to them from the landH776 of 78CyprusH3794.29Be silentH1826, you inhabitantsH3427 of the coastlandH339, You merchantsH5503 of SidonH6721; 10Your messengersH4390 crossedH5674 the seaH32203And were on manyH7227 watersH4325. 11The grainH2233 of the 1213NileH7883, the harvestH7105 of the RiverH2975 was her revenueH8393; And she was the 14marketH5504 of nationsH1471.4Be ashamedH954, O 15SidonH6721; For the seaH3220 speaksH559, the strongholdH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, “I have neitherH3808 travailedH2342 norH3808 givenH3205 birthH3205, I have neitherH3808 broughtH1431 up youngH970 menH970 nor rearedH7311 virginsH1330.”5WhenH3512 the reportH8088 reaches EgyptH4714, They will be in 16anguishH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.6PassH5674 overH5674 to 17TarshishH8659; WailH3213, O inhabitantsH3427 of the coastlandH339.7Is thisH2088 your 18jubilantH5947 city, Whose originH6927 is from antiquityH6927, Whose feetH7272 used to carryH2986 her to 19colonizeH1481 distantH7350 places?

8WhoH4310 has plannedH3289 thisH2088 againstH5921 TyreH6865, 20the bestowerH5849 of crownsH5849, WhoseH834 merchantsH5503 were princesH8269, whoseH834 tradersH3667 were the honoredH3513 of the earthH776?921The LordH3068 of hostsH6635 has plannedH3289 it, to 22defileH2490 the prideH1347 of allH3605 beautyH6643, To despiseH7043 allH3605 the 23honoredH3513 of the earthH776.1024OverflowH5674 your landH776 like the NileH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659, ThereH369 is noH369 moreH5750 25restraintH4206.11He has 26stretchedH5186 His handH3027 out 27overH5921 the seaH3220, He has 28made the kingdomsH4467 trembleH7264; The LordH3068 has givenH6680 a commandH6680 concerningH413 CanaanH3667 to 29demolishH8045 its strongholdsH4581.

12He has saidH559, “30You shall exultH5937 noH3808 moreH3254H5750, O crushedH6231 virginH1330 daughterH1323 of SidonH6721. AriseH6965, passH5674 overH5674 to 3132CyprusH3794; evenH1571 thereH8033 you will findH5117 noH3808 restH5117.”

13BeholdH2005, the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778--thisH2088 is the peopleH5971 which was not; 33AssyriaH804 appointedH3245 it for 34desertH6716 creaturesH6716--they erectedH6965 their siegeH969 towersH969, they strippedH6209 its palacesH759, 35they madeH7760 it a ruinH4654.14WailH3213, O 36shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, For your strongholdH4581 is destroyedH7703. 15Now in that dayH3117 TyreH6865 will be forgottenH7911 for 37seventyH7657 yearsH8141 like the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428. At the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 it will happenH1961 to TyreH6865 as in the songH7892 of the harlotH2181:16TakeH3947 your harpH3658, walkH5437 aboutH5437 the cityH5892, O forgottenH7911 harlotH2181; PluckH5059 the stringsH5059 skillfullyH3190, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, That you may be rememberedH2142. 17It will comeH1961 about at 38the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 that the LordH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865. Then she will goH7725 backH7725 to her harlot’sH868 wagesH868 and will 39playH2181 the harlotH2181 with allH3605 the kingdomsH4467 40on the faceH6440 of the earthH127. 18Her 41gainH5504 and her harlot’sH868 wagesH868 will be 42setH6944 apartH6944 to the LordH3068; it will not be storedH686 up or hoardedH2630, but her gainH5504 will becomeH1961 sufficientH7654 foodH398 and choiceH6266 attireH4374 for those who dwellH3427 in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068.
