Isaiah 23:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² He says to Sidon's people, ‘Your parties have finished! Now it will be a time of pain for you. Move away, if you can! Travel to Cyprus. But you will still not be safe there.’

¹³ Look at what happened in Babylonia. Its people have disappeared! The Assyrian army has made it a place for wild animals to live in. Their soldiers built hills of earth against the city's walls. They climbed over and they destroyed its strong buildings. Babylon's buildings became heaps of stones.

¹⁴ So weep aloud, you great ships of Tarshish. Enemies have destroyed your strong place.
