Isaiah 23:12-14

New International Reader's Version

“Leave your city. Go across the sea to Cyprus.
    Even there you will not find any rest.”
¹³ Look at the land of the Babylonians.
    No one lives there anymore.
The Assyrians have turned it
    into a place for desert creatures.
They built their towers in order to attack it.
    They took everything out of its forts.
    They knocked down all its buildings.

¹⁴ Men in the ships of Tarshish, cry out!
    Mighty Tyre is destroyed!
