Isaiah 23:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² City of Sidon, your happiness has ended, and your people are oppressed. Even if they escape to Cyprus, they will still not be safe.

¹³ (It was the Babylonians, not the Assyrians, who let the wild animals overrun Tyre. It was the Babylonians who put up siege towers, tore down the fortifications of Tyre, and left the city in ruins.^[a])

¹⁴ Howl with grief, you sailors out on the ocean! The city you relied on has been destroyed.
