Isaiah Chapter 23 (Passion Bible)
1 A prophecy for Tyre and Sidon:
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the coast
3 On the great waters your revenue
4 Sidon, be ashamed,
5 When the Egyptians hear it, they will be stunned
6 Cross over to Tarshish.
7 Is this your once boisterous city, founded so long ago?
8 Who has planned this for imperial Tyre, who once wore her crown?
9 Yahweh, the Commander of Angel Armies, has planned it!
10 Daughter Tarshish, cross over your land[7]
11 Yahweh has stretched out his hand over the sea of humanity
12 He said, “Fair Sidon, the oppressed one,
13 Behold the land of the Babylonians.
14 Wail, you merchant ships of Tarshish,
15 In that day, Tyre will remain forgotten for seventy years, equal to the life span of a king. After seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song about the prostitute:
16 Take a harp and go about the city,
17 At the end of seventy years, the Lord Yahweh will restore Tyre, but she will return to her trade. She will prostitute herself again with every kingdom of the world.
18 But her merchandise and earnings will be set apart as holy to the Lord Yahweh. They will neither be stored nor hoarded, but they will supply abundant[10] food and splendid garments for those who live in the presence of the Lord Yahweh![11]
