Isaiah 23


Isa 23:1 The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.
Isa 23:2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea
Isa 23:3 And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.
Isa 23:4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."
Isa 23:5 When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
Isa 23:6 Pass over to Tarshish; Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
Isa 23:7 Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?
Isa 23:8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
Isa 23:9 The Lord of hosts has planned it, to defile the pride of all beauty, To despise all the honored of the earth.
Isa 23:10 Overflow your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish, There is no more restraint.
Isa 23:11 He has stretched His hand out over the sea, He has made the kingdoms tremble; The Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.
Isa 23:12 He has said, "You shall exult no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Cyprus; even there you will find no rest."
Isa 23:13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans--this is the people which was not; Assyria appointed it for desert creatures--they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.
Isa 23:14 Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold is destroyed.
Isa 23:15 Now in that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
Isa 23:16 Take your harp, walk about the city, O forgotten harlot; Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs, That you may be remembered.
Isa 23:17 It will come about at the end of seventy years that the Lord will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her harlot's wages and will play the harlot with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
Isa 23:18 Her gain and her harlot's wages will be set apart to the Lord; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the Lord.

Isa 23:18 καὶ ἔσται αὐτῆς ἡ ἐμπορία καὶ ὁ μισθὸς ἅγιον τῷ κυρίῳ οὐκ αὐτοῖς συναχθήσεται ἀλλὰ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἔναντι κυρίου πᾶσα ἡ ἐμπορία αὐτῆς φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ ἐμπλησθῆναι εἰς συμβολὴν μνημόσυνον ἔναντι κυρίου
