Isaiah 23

About Isaiah Isaiah warns of judgment and promises comfort, a coming king, a suffering servant and a new creation.

The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.SelectedIsaiah 23:1Ask

Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.SelectedIsaiah 23:2Ask

And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.SelectedIsaiah 23:3Ask

Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.SelectedIsaiah 23:4Ask

As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.SelectedIsaiah 23:5Ask

Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.SelectedIsaiah 23:6Ask

Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.SelectedIsaiah 23:7Ask

Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?SelectedIsaiah 23:8Ask

The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.SelectedIsaiah 23:9Ask

Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.SelectedIsaiah 23:10Ask

He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.SelectedIsaiah 23:11Ask

And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.SelectedIsaiah 23:12Ask

Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.SelectedIsaiah 23:13Ask

Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.SelectedIsaiah 23:14Ask

And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.SelectedIsaiah 23:15Ask

Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.SelectedIsaiah 23:16Ask

And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.SelectedIsaiah 23:17Ask

And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.SelectedIsaiah 23:18Ask
