Isaiah 23:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Is this your bustling city founded in the distant past?
Is this the city that sent its people to settle in distant lands?
⁸ Who planned such a thing against Tyre, the city that produced kings?
Its merchants are princes.
Its traders are among the honored people of the world.
⁹ The Lord of Armies planned this
in order to dishonor all arrogant people
and to humiliate all the honored people of the world.
