Isaiah 23:11-13
Living Bible
11 The Lord holds out his hand over the seas; he shakes the kingdoms of the earth; he has spoken out against this great merchant city, to destroy its strength.
12 He says, “Never again, O dishonored virgin, daughter of Sidon, will you rejoice, will you be strong. Even if you flee to Cyprus, you will find no rest.”
13 It will be the Babylonians, not the Assyrians, who consign Tyre to the wild beasts. They will lay siege to it, raze its palaces, and make it a heap of ruins.

New International Version
11 The Lord has stretched out his hand(A) over the sea
and made its kingdoms tremble.(B)
He has given an order concerning Phoenicia
that her fortresses be destroyed.(C)
12 He said, “No more of your reveling,(D)
Virgin Daughter(E) Sidon, now crushed!
“Up, cross over to Cyprus;(F)
even there you will find no rest.”
13 Look at the land of the Babylonians,[a](G)
this people that is now of no account!
The Assyrians(H) have made it
a place for desert creatures;(I)
they raised up their siege towers,(J)
they stripped its fortresses bare
and turned it into a ruin.(K)
