Isaiah 23:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ The Lord has stretched his hand over the sea
    and made its kingdoms tremble.
He commands that Canaan’s
    strong, walled cities be destroyed.
¹² He said, “Sidon, you will not rejoice any longer,
    because you are destroyed.
Even if you cross the sea to Cyprus,
    you will not find a place to rest.”
¹³ Look at the land of the Babylonians;
    it is not a country now.
Assyria has made it a place for wild animals.
    Assyria built towers to attack it;
the soldiers took all the treasures from its cities,
    and they turned it into ruins.
