Isaiah 23

23
An Oracle Concerning Tyre
1#Joel 3:4–8; Ge 10:4The oracle of Tyre.
Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste
so that there is no house or harbor;
from the land of Cyprus
it is reported to them.
2#Isa 47:5 Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
you merchants of Sidon;
your messengers passed over the sea,
3#1Ch 13:5; Jer 2:18 and were on many waters;
the grain of the Nile,
the harvest of the River#Nile River. was her revenue;
and she was the market of nations.
4Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken,
even the stronghold of the sea, saying,
“I have not travailed nor brought forth children;
neither have I brought up young men nor raised virgins.”
5#Ex 15:14–16; Jos 2:9–11 When the report reaches Egypt,
they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6#Isa 23:12 Pass over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
7#Isa 22:2 Is this your joyous city,
whose origin is from ancient days,
whose feet used to carry her
to sojourn in distant locations?
8Who has planned this against Tyre,
the crowning city,
whose merchants are princes,
whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9#Isa 13:11; Job 40:11–12 The Lord of Hosts has purposed it,
to stain the pride of all glory
and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10Pass through your land as the Nile,
O daughter of Tarshish;
there is no more restraint.
11#Zec 9:3–4; Ex 14:21 He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
the Lord has given a command against the merchant city,
to destroy its strongholds.
12#Rev 18:22; Isa 23:1–2 He said: You shall rejoice no more,
O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to Cyprus;
there also you shall have no rest.
13Look at the land of the Chaldeans;
this was a people who was not;
Assyria founded it
for those who dwell in the wilderness.
They set up their siege towers,
they stripped its palaces,
and brought it to ruin.
14#Isa 23:1 Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
for your stronghold is laid waste.
15#Jer 25:22In that day Tyre shall be forgotten for seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years Tyre shall sing as a harlot:
16Take your harp, go about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
make sweet melody, sing many songs,
that you may be remembered.
17#Na 3:4At the end of seventy years, the Lord will punish Tyre. Then she shall turn to her harlot’s wages and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. 18#Ps 72:10Her merchandise and her harlot’s wages shall be set apart to the Lord. It shall not be treasured nor stored up, for her merchandise shall be for those who dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for choice clothing.
