International Standard Version
Isaiah 23:12-14
International Standard Version
12 And he said:
‘You will revel no longer,[a]
you virgin daughter of Sidon,
now crushed.
Get up, cross over to Cyprus—
but even there you will find no rest.’”
Tyre’s Desolation and Restoration
13 “Look at the land of the Chaldeans!
This is a people that no longer exist;
Assyria destined her[b] for desert creatures.[c]
They raised up her[d] siege towers,
they stripped her fortresses bare
and turned her into a ruin.
14 Wail, you ships of Tarshish,
because your[e] stronghold is destroyed!”
