Isaiah:23

Seeker Overlay ON

* The burden of Tyre . Howl , you ships of Tarshish ! For it is laid waste , so that there is no house , no entering in . From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them . * Be still , you inhabitants of the coast , you whom the merchants of Sidon , that pass over the sea , have replenished . * On great waters , the seed of the Shihor , the harvest of the Nile , was her revenue . She was the market of nations . * Be ashamed , Sidon ; for the sea has spoken , the stronghold of the sea , saying , "I have not travailed , nor brought forth , neither have I nourished young men , nor brought up virgins ." * When the report comes to Egypt , they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre . * Pass over to Tarshish ! Wail , you inhabitants of the coast ! * Is this your joyous city , whose antiquity is of ancient days , whose feet carried her far away to travel ? * Who has planned this against Tyre , the giver of crowns , whose merchants are princes , whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth ? * Yahweh of Armies has planned it , to stain the pride of all glory , to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth . * Pass through your land like the Nile , daughter of Tarshish . There is no restraint any more . * He has stretched out his hand over the sea . He has shaken the kingdoms . Yahweh has ordered the destruction of Canaan 's strongholds . * He said , "You shall rejoice no more , you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon . Arise , pass over to Kittim . Even there you will have no rest ." * Behold , the land of the Chaldeans . This people was not . The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness . They set up their towers . They overthrew its palaces . They made it a ruin . * Howl , you ships of Tarshish , for your stronghold is laid waste ! * It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years , according to the days of one king . After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute . * Take a harp ; go about the city , you prostitute that has been forgotten . Make sweet melody . Sing many songs , that you may be remembered . * It will happen after the end of seventy years that Yahweh will visit Tyre , and she shall return to her wages , and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth . * Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to Yahweh . It will not be treasured nor laid up ; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before Yahweh , to eat sufficiently , and for durable clothing .
