Isaiah 23

1 The miserable overthrow of Tyre. 17 Their unhappy return.

 23:1 The oracle 4853b concerning Tyre 6865. Wail 3213, O ships 591 of Tarshish 8659, For [Tyre] is destroyed 7703, without 4480 house 1004 [or] harbor 935; It is reported 1540 to them from the land 776 of Cyprus 3794.

 23:2 Be silent 1826a, you inhabitants 3427 of the coastland 339, You merchants 5503 of Sidon 6721; Your messengers 4390 crossed 5674a the sea 3220

 23:3 And [were] on many 7227a waters 4325. The grain 2233 of the Nile 7883, the harvest 7105a of the River 2975 was her revenue 8393; And she was the market 5504 of nations 1471.

 23:4 Be ashamed 954, O Sidon 6721; For the sea 3220 speaks 559, the stronghold 4581 of the sea 3220, saying 559, “I have neither 3808 travailed 2342a nor 3808 given 3205 birth 3205, I have neither 3808 brought 1431 up young 970 men 970 [nor] reared 7311 virgins 1330.”

 23:5 When 3512c the report 8088 [reaches] Egypt 4714, They will be in anguish 2342a at the report 8088 of Tyre 6865.

 23:6 Pass 5674a over 5674a to Tarshish 8659; Wail 3213, O inhabitants 3427 of the coastland 339.

 23:7 Is this 384 your jubilant 5947 [city], Whose origin 6927 is from antiquity 6927, Whose feet 7272 used to carry 2986 her to colonize 1481a distant 7350 places?

 23:8 ¶ Who 4310 has planned 3289 this 384 against 5921 Tyre 6865, the bestower 5849b of crowns 5849b, Whose 834 merchants 5503 were princes 8269, whose 834 traders 3667b were the honored 3513 of the earth 776?

 23:9 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 has planned 3289 it, to defile 2490c the pride 1347b of all 3605 beauty 6643a, To despise 7043 all 3605 the honored 3513 of the earth 776.

 23:10 Overflow 5674a your land 776 like the Nile 2975, O daughter 1323 of Tarshish 8659, There 369 is no 369 more 5750 restraint 4206a.

 23:11 He has stretched 5186 His hand 3027 out over 5921 the sea 3220, He has made the kingdoms 4467 tremble 7264; The LORD 3068 has given 6680 a command 6680 concerning 413 Canaan 3667a to demolish 8045 its strongholds 4581.

 23:12 ¶ He has said 559, “You shall exult 5937 no 3808 more 3254 5750, O crushed 6231 virgin 1330 daughter 1323 of Sidon 6721. Arise 6965, pass 5674a over 5674a to Cyprus 3794; even 1571 there 8033 you will find 5117 no 3808 rest 5117.”

 23:13 ¶ Behold 2005, the land 776 of the Chaldeans 3778—this 2088 is the people 5971a [which] was not; Assyria 804b appointed 3245 it for desert 6716b creatures 6716b—they erected 6965 their siege 969a towers 969a, they stripped 6209 its palaces 759, they made 7760 it a ruin 4654b.

 23:14 Wail 3213, O ships 591 of Tarshish 8659, For your stronghold 4581 is destroyed 7703.

 23:15 Now in that day 3117 Tyre 6865 will be forgotten 7911 for seventy 7657 years 8141 like the days 3117 of one 259 king 4428. At the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141 it will happen 1961 to Tyre 6865 as [in] the song 7892b of the harlot 2181:

 23:16 Take 3947 [your] harp 3658, walk 5437 about 5437 the city 5892b, O forgotten 7911 harlot 2181; Pluck 5059 the strings 5059 skillfully 3190, sing many 7235a songs 7892a, That you may be remembered 2142.

 23:17 It will come 1961 about at the end 7093 of seventy 7657 years 8141 that the LORD 3068 will visit 6485 Tyre 6865. Then she will go 7725 back 7725 to her harlot’s 868 wages 868 and will play 2181 the harlot 2181 with all 3605 the kingdoms 4467 on the face 6440 of the earth 127.

 23:18 Her gain 5504 and her harlot’s 868 wages 868 will be set 6944 apart 6944 to the LORD 3068; it will not be stored 686 up or hoarded 2630, but her gain 5504 will become 1961 sufficient 7654 food 398 and choice 6266 attire 4374 for those who dwell 3427 in the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068.
