Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 23:12-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. He said,“You will not rejoice anymore,ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon.Get up and cross over to Cyprus —even there you will have no rest! ”

13. Look at the land of the Chaldeans —a people who no longer exist.Assyria destined it for desert creatures.They set up their siege towersand stripped its palaces.They made it a ruin.

14. Wail, ships of Tarshish,because your fortress is destroyed!

15. On that day Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years — the life span of one king. At the end of 70 years, what the song says about the prostitute will happen to Tyre:

16. Pick up your lyre,stroll through the city,prostitute forgotten by men.Play skillfully,sing many a song,and you will be thought of again.
