Isaiah 23:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 He stretched out his hand upon the sea: he shook the kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment concerning the place of merchandise, to destroy the power thereof.
12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice when thou art oppressed: [a]O virgin [b]daughter of Sidon: rise up, go out unto Kittim: yet there thou shalt have no rest.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans: this was no people: [c]Assyria founded it by the inhabitants of the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof: they raised the palaces thereof, and he [d]brought it to ruin.
