Tyre’s Glory Humbled · Isaiah 23

Open this scene in the reader →

10Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint anymore.

11He has stretched out his hand over the sea; he has made kingdoms tremble. Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan, to destroy her strongholds.

12He said, “You will exult no more, oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Kittim; even there you will find no rest.”

13Look at the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people that was not; Assyria appointed it for desert creatures. They set up their siege towers, they stripped her palaces bare, they made her a ruin.

14Wail, ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold has been destroyed.
