Isaiah 23:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea;
he has shaken the kingdoms;
the Lord has given command concerning Canaan,
to destroy its fortresses.(A)
12 He said:
“You will exult no longer,
O oppressed virgin daughter Sidon;
rise, cross over to Cyprus—
even there you will have no rest.”(B)
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people; it was not Assyria. They destined it for wild animals.[a] They erected their siege towers; they tore down her palaces; they made her a ruin.(C)
