Isaiah 23:7-9

The Voice

⁷ One wonders: could this really be the same city?
    It was so jubilant, so magnificent, so commanding for its trade.
Is this the city that’s been around longer than memory
    and her citizens have traveled to exotic, faraway places?
⁸ Tyre’s merchants and traders were princes and nobles,
    respected everywhere around the world.
Who did this to Tyre,
    a city that awards honor with crowns?
⁹ The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, has determined,
    Tyre should be destroyed, wrecked, and disgraced
To spoil the foolish arrogance of all glory and
    to show how insignificant earthly honors are.
