Isaiah 23

23:1

The burden
<04853>

of Tyre
<06865>_.

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

ye ships
<0591>

of Tarshish
<08659>_;

for it is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,

so that there is no house
<01004>_,

no entering in
<0935> (8800)_:

from the land
<0776>

of Chittim
<03794>

it is revealed
<01540> (8738)

to them.

23:2

Be still
<01826> (8798)_,

ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the isle
<0339>_;

thou whom the merchants
<05503> (8802)

of Zidon
<06721>_,

that pass over
<05674> (8802)

the sea
<03220>_,

have replenished
<04390> (8765)_.

{still: Heb. silent}

23:3

And by great
<07227>

waters
<04325>

the seed
<02233>

of Sihor
<07883>_,

the harvest
<07105>

of the river
<02975>_,

[is] her revenue
<08393>_;

and she is a mart
<05505>

of nations
<01471>_.

23:4

Be thou ashamed
<0954> (8798)_,

O Zidon
<06721>_:

for the sea
<03220>

hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_,

[even] the strength
<04581>

of the sea
<03220>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I travail
<02342> (8804)

not, nor bring forth children
<03205> (8804)_,

neither do I nourish up
<01431> (8765)

young men
<0970>_,

[nor] bring up
<07311> (8790)

virgins
<01330>_.

23:5

As at the report
<08088>

concerning Egypt
<04714>_,

[so] shall they be sorely pained
<02342> (8799)

at the report
<08088>

of Tyre
<06865>_.

23:6

Pass ye over
<05674> (8798)

to Tarshish
<08659>_;

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the isle
<0339>_.

23:7

[Is] this your joyous
<05947>

[city], whose antiquity
<06927>

[is] of ancient
<06924>

days
<03117>_?

her own feet
<07272>

shall carry
<02986> (8686)

her afar off
<07350>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)_.

{afar...: Heb. from afar off}

23:8

Who hath taken this counsel
<03289> (8804)

against Tyre
<06865>_,

the crowning
<05849> (8688)

[city], whose merchants
<05503> (8802)

[are] princes
<08269>_,

whose traffickers
<03667>

[are] the honourable
<03513> (8737)

of the earth
<0776>_?

23:9

The LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

hath purposed
<03289> (8804)

it, to stain
<02490> (8763)

the pride
<01347>

of all glory
<06643>_,

[and] to bring into contempt
<07043> (8687)

all the honourable
<03513> (8737)

of the earth
<0776>_.

{to stain: Heb. to pollute}

23:10

Pass
<05674> (8798)

through thy land
<0776>

as a river
<02975>_,

O daughter
<01323>

of Tarshish
<08659>_:

[there is] no more strength
<04206>_.

{strength: Heb. girdle}

23:11

He stretched out
<05186> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

over the sea
<03220>_,

he shook
<07264> (8689)

the kingdoms
<04467>_:

the LORD
<03068>

hath given a commandment
<06680> (8765)

against the merchant
<03667>

[city], to destroy
<08045> (8687)

the strong
<04581>

holds
<04581>

thereof. {against...: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb. Canaan} {strong...: or, strengths}

23:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt no more
<03254> (8686)

rejoice
<05937> (8800)_,

O thou oppressed
<06231> (8794)

virgin
<01330>_,

daughter
<01323>

of Zidon
<06721>_:

arise
<06965> (8798)_,

pass over
<05674> (8798)

to Chittim
<03794>_;

there also shalt thou have no rest
<05117> (8799)_.

23:13

Behold the land
<0776>

of the Chaldeans
<03778>_;

this people
<05971>

was not, [till] the Assyrian
<0804>

founded
<03245> (8804)

it for them that dwell in the wilderness
<06728>_:

they set up
<06965> (8689)

the towers
<0971>

thereof, they raised up
<06209> (8782)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof; [and] he brought
<07760> (8804)

it to ruin
<04654>_.

23:14

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

ye ships
<0591>

of Tarshish
<08659>_:

for your strength
<04581>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_.

23:15

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

that Tyre
<06865>

shall be forgotten
<07911> (8737)

seventy
<07657>

years
<08141>_,

according to the days
<03117>

of one
<0259>

king
<04428>_:

after the end
<07093>

of seventy
<07657>

years
<08141>

shall Tyre
<06865>

sing
<07892>

as an harlot
<02181> (8802)_.

{shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}

23:16

Take
<03947> (8798)

an harp
<03658>_,

go about
<05437> (8798)

the city
<05892>_,

thou harlot
<02181> (8802)

that hast been forgotten
<07911> (8737)_;

make sweet
<03190> (8685)

melody
<05059> (8763)_,

sing many
<07235> (8685)

songs
<07892>_,

that thou mayest be remembered
<02142> (8735)_.

23:17

And it shall come to pass after the end
<07093>

of seventy
<07657>

years
<08141>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

will visit
<06485> (8799)

Tyre
<06865>_,

and she shall turn
<07725> (8804)

to her hire
<0868>_,

and shall commit fornication
<02181> (8804)

with all the kingdoms
<04467>

of the world
<0776>

upon the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_.

23:18

And her merchandise
<05504>

and her hire
<0868>

shall be holiness
<06944>

to the LORD
<03068>_:

it shall not be treasured
<0686> (8735)

nor laid up
<02630> (8735)_;

for her merchandise
<05504>

shall be for them that dwell
<03427> (8802)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to eat
<0398> (8800)

sufficiently
<07654>_,

and for durable
<06266>

clothing
<04374>_.

{durable: Heb. old}
