Isa. 23:1 The burden concerning Tyre: / Howl, O ships of Tarshish, / For it is destroyed--lacking house, / Lacking entrance. From [as far away as] the land of Kittim / It is told to them.
Isa. 23:2 Hush, you inhabitants of the coastland, / You, whom the merchants of Sidon, / Who cross the sea, have replenished.
Isa. 23:3 And by [way of ] many waters / The grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; / And she was profit to the nations.
Isa. 23:4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, / The stronghold of the sea, saying, / I have not been in labor nor given birth; / Neither have I brought up young men, / [Nor] have I raised virgins.

Isa. 23:6 Cross over to Tarshish; / Howl, you inhabitants of the coastland.
Isa. 23:7 Is this your jubilant [city,] / Whose antiquity is from the days of antiquity, / Whose feet carried her off afar to sojourn?
Isa. 23:8 Who has purposed this / Against Tyre, the giver of crowns, / Whose merchants were princes, / Whose traders were the honorable of the earth?
Isa. 23:9 Jehovah of hosts has purposed it, / To defile the pride of all beauty, / To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
Isa. 23:10 Overflow your land like a river, O daughter of Tarshish; / There is no more restraint.
Isa. 23:11 He has stretched out His hand over the sea; / He has shaken kingdoms. / Jehovah has given commandment concerning Canaan / To destroy its strongholds.
Isa. 23:12 And He has said, You shall not continue to exult any longer, / O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. / Arise; cross over to Kittim-- / There also you will have no rest.

Isa. 23:14 Howl, O ships of Tarshish, / For your stronghold is destroyed.
Isa. 23:15 In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of the seventy years Tyre will be like [her in] the harlot's song:
Isa. 23:16 Take a harp; / Compass the city, / Forgotten harlot. / Play well; / Abound in song, / That you may be remembered.
Isa. 23:17 And at the end of the seventy years Jehovah will visit Tyre. And she will return to the wages of her harlotry and will be a harlot to all the kingdoms of the earth on land's surface.
Isa. 23:18 And her profit and the wages of her harlotry will be dedicated to Jehovah; it will not be stored up, nor will it be hoarded, for her profit will be for those who dwell before Jehovah, as [their] sufficient food and [their] choice clothing.
