Isaiah 23:10-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength.

11. He has stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the reigns; יהוה has given a command against Kena‛an to destroy its strongholds.

12. And He said, “Never again shall you exult, O you oppressed maiden daughter of Tsiḏon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there you shall find no rest.”

13. See the land of the Chaldeans – this people did not exist. Ashshur founded it for wild beasts of the desert. They set up their siege-towers, they demolished her palaces, and made her a ruin.

14. Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!

15. And in that day it shall be that Tsor is forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one sovereign. At the end of seventy years it shall be to Tsor as in the song of the whore:

16. “Take a lyre, go about the city, you forgotten whore; make sweet playing, sing many songs, so that you might be remembered.”

17. And at the end of seventy years it shall be that יהוה visits Tsor. And she shall return to her hire and commit whoring with all the reigns of the earth on the face of the soil.

18. And her goods and her hire shall be set apart for יהוה, not treasured nor laid up, for her gain is for those who dwell before יהוה, to eat sufficiently, and for a choice covering.
