Isaias 23:5-12 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

5. When it shall be heard in Egypt, they will be sorry when they shall hear of Tyre:

6. Pass over the seas, howl, ye inhabitants of the island.

7. Is not this your city, which gloried from of old in her antiquity? her feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.

8. Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, that was formerly crowned, whose merchants were princes, and her traders the nobles of the earth?

9. The Lord of hosts hath designed it, to pull down the pride of all glory, and bring to disgrace all the glorious ones of the earth.

10. Pass thy land as a river, O daughter of the sea, thou hast a girdle no more.

11. He stretched out his hand over the sea, he troubled kingdoms: the Lord hath given a charge against Chanaan, to destroy the strong ones thereof.

12. And he said: Thou shalt glory no more, O virgin daughter of Sidon, who art oppressed: arise and sail over to Cethim, there also thou shalt have no, rest.
