Isaiah 23

1 The miserable overthrow of Tyre. 17 Their unhappy return.

 23:1 ¶ The burden 4853 of Tyre. 6865 Howl, 3213 z8685 ye ships 591 of Tarshish; 8659 for x3588 it is laid waste, 7703 z8795 so that there is no house, 1004 x4480 no entering in: 935 z8800 x4480 from the land 776 x4480 of Chittim 3794 it is revealed 1540 z8738 to them.

 23:2 Be still, 1826 z8798 ye inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the isle; 339 thou whom the merchants 5503 z8802 of Zidon, 6721 that pass over 5674 z8802 the sea, 3220 have replenished. 4390 z8765

 23:3 And by great 7227 waters 4325 the seed 2233 of Sihor, 7883 the harvest 7105 of the river, 2975 [is] her revenue; 8393 and she is x1961 a mart 5505 of nations. 1471

 23:4 Be thou ashamed, 954 z8798 O Zidon: 6721 for x3588 the sea 3220 hath spoken, 559 z8804 [even] the strength 4581 of the sea, 3220 saying, 559 z8800 I travail 2342 z8804 not, x3808 nor x3808 bring forth children, 3205 z8804 neither x3808 do I nourish up 1431 z8765 young men, 970 [nor] bring up 7311 z8790 virgins. 1330

 23:5 As x834 at the report 8088 concerning Egypt, 4714 [so] shall they be sorely pained 2342 z8799 at the report 8088 of Tyre. 6865

 23:6 Pass ye over 5674 z8798 to Tarshish; 8659 howl, 3213 z8685 ye inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the isle. 339

 23:7 [Is] this x2063 your joyous 5947 [city], whose antiquity 6927 [is] of ancient 6924 days? 3117 x4480 her own feet 7272 shall carry 2986 z8686 her afar off 7350 x4480 to sojourn. 1481 z8800

 23:8 Who x4310 hath taken this counsel 3289 z8804 x2063 against x5921 Tyre, 6865 the crowning 5849 z8688 [city], whose x834 merchants 5503 z8802 [are] princes, 8269 whose traffickers y3667 x3669 [are] the honourable 3513 z8737 of the earth? 776

 23:9 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 hath purposed 3289 z8804 it, to stain 2490 z8763 the pride 1347 of all x3605 glory, 6643 [and] to bring into contempt 7043 z8687 all x3605 the honourable 3513 z8737 of the earth. 776

 23:10 Pass y5674 z8798 through x5674 thy land 776 as a river, 2975 O daughter 1323 of Tarshish: 8659 [there is] no x369 more x5750 strength. 4206

 23:11 He stretched out 5186 z8804 his hand 3027 over x5921 the sea, 3220 he shook 7264 z8689 the kingdoms: 4467 the LORD 3068 hath given a commandment 6680 z8765 against x413 the merchant 3667 [city], to destroy 8045 z8687 the strong y4581 holds 4581 thereof.

 23:12 And he said, 559 z8799 Thou shalt no x3808 more y3254 z8686 x5750 rejoice, 5937 z8800 O thou oppressed 6231 z8794 virgin, 1330 daughter 1323 of Zidon: 6721 arise, 6965 z8798 pass over 5674 z8798 to Chittim; 3794 there x8033 also x1571 shalt thou have no rest. 5117 z8799 x3808

 23:13 Behold x2005 the land 776 of the Chaldeans; 3778 this x2088 people 5971 was x1961 not, x3808 [till] the Assyrian 804 founded 3245 z8804 it for them that dwell in the wilderness: 6728 they set up 6965 z8689 the towers 971 thereof, they raised up 6209 z8782 the palaces 759 thereof; [and] he brought 7760 z8804 it to ruin. 4654

 23:14 Howl, 3213 z8685 ye ships 591 of Tarshish: 8659 for x3588 your strength 4581 is laid waste. 7703 z8795

 23:15 And it shall come to pass x1961 in that x1931 day, 3117 that Tyre 6865 shall be forgotten 7911 z8737 seventy 7657 years, 8141 according to the days 3117 of one 259 king: 4428 after the end 7093 x4480 of seventy 7657 years 8141 shall Tyre 6865 sing 7892 as an harlot. 2181 z8802

 23:16 Take 3947 z8798 an harp, 3658 go about 5437 z8798 the city, 5892 thou harlot 2181 z8802 that hast been forgotten; 7911 z8737 make sweet 3190 z8685 melody, 5059 z8763 sing many 7235 z8685 songs, 7892 that x4616 thou mayest be remembered. 2142 z8735

 23:17 ¶ And it shall come to pass x1961 after the end 7093 x4480 of seventy 7657 years, 8141 that the LORD 3068 will visit 6485 z8799 x853 Tyre, 6865 and she shall turn 7725 z8804 to her hire, 868 and shall commit fornication 2181 z8804 with x854 all x3605 the kingdoms 4467 of the world 776 upon x5921 the face 6440 of the earth. 127

 23:18 And her merchandise 5504 and her hire 868 shall be x1961 holiness 6944 to the LORD: 3068 it shall not x3808 be treasured 686 z8735 nor x3808 laid up; 2630 z8735 for x3588 her merchandise 5504 shall be x1961 for them that dwell 3427 z8802 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 to eat 398 z8800 sufficiently, 7654 and for durable 6266 clothing. 4374
