Read Bible Book Of Isaiah Chapter 23 In Online
1 - An Oracle Concerning Tyre: Wail, O Ships Of Tarshish! For Tyre Is Destroyed And Left Without House Or Harbor. From The Land Of Cyprus Word Has Come To Them.
2 - Be Silent, You People Of The Island And You Merchants Of Sidon, Whom The Seafarers Have Enriched.
3 - On The Great Waters Came The Grain Of The Shihor; The Harvest Of The Nile Was The Revenue Of Tyre, And She Became The Marketplace Of The Nations.
4 - Be Ashamed, O Sidon, And You, O Fortress Of The Sea, For The Sea Has Spoken: "I Have Neither Been In Labor Nor Given Birth; I Have Neither Reared Sons Nor Brought Up Daughters."
5 - When Word Comes To Egypt, They Will Be In Anguish At The Report From Tyre.
6 - Cross Over To Tarshish; Wail, You People Of The Island.
7 - Is This Your City Of Revelry, The Old, Old City, Whose Feet Have Taken Her To Settle In Far-off Lands?
8 - Who Planned This Against Tyre, The Bestower Of Crowns, Whose Merchants Are Princes, Whose Traders Are Renowned In The Earth?
9 - The Lord Almighty Planned It, To Bring Low The Pride Of All Glory And To Humble All Who Are Renowned On The Earth.
10 - Till Your Land As Along The Nile, O Daughter Of Tarshish, For You No Longer Have A Harbor.
11 - The Lord Has Stretched Out His Hand Over The Sea And Made Its Kingdoms Tremble. He Has Given An Order Concerning Phoenicia That Her Fortresses Be Destroyed.
12 - He Said, "No More Of Your Reveling, O Virgin Daughter Of Sidon, Now Crushed! "Up, Cross Over To Cyprus ; Even There You Will Find No Rest."
13 - Look At The Land Of The Babylonians, This People That Is Now Of No Account! The Assyrians Have Made It A Place For Desert Creatures; They Raised Up Their Siege Towers, They Stripped Its Fortresses Bare And Turned It Into A Ruin.
14 - Wail, You Ships Of Tarshish; Your Fortress Is Destroyed!
15 - At That Time Tyre Will Be Forgotten For Seventy Years, The Span Of A King's Life. But At The End Of These Seventy Years, It Will Happen To Tyre As In The Song Of The Prostitute:
16 - "Take Up A Harp, Walk Through The City, O Prostitute Forgotten; Play The Harp Well, Sing Many A Song, So That You Will Be Remembered."
17 - At The End Of Seventy Years, The Lord Will Deal With Tyre. She Will Return To Her Hire As A Prostitute And Will Ply Her Trade With All The Kingdoms On The Face Of The Earth.
18 - Yet Her Profit And Her Earnings Will Be Set Apart For The Lord ; They Will Not Be Stored Up Or Hoarded. Her Profits Will Go To Those Who Live Before The Lord , For Abundant Food And Fine Clothes.
