Isaiah 23:7 (NIRV) New International Reader's Version

1 Here is a message the Lord gave me about Tyre. Men in the ships of Tarshish, cry out! The city of Tyre is destroyed. Its houses and harbor are gone. That's the message you have received from the island of Cyprus.
2 People on the island of Tyre, be silent. Traders from the city of Sidon, be quiet. Those who sail on the Mediterranean Sea have made you rich.
3 Grain from Egypt came across the mighty waters. The harvest of the Nile River brought wealth to Tyre. It became the market place of the nations.
4 Sidon, be ashamed. Mighty Tyre out in the sea, be ashamed. The sea has spoken. It has said, "It's as if I had never felt labor pains or had children. It's as if I had never brought up sons or daughters. It's as if the city of Tyre had never existed."
5 The Egyptians will hear about what has happened to Tyre. They'll be very sad and troubled.
6 People of the island of Tyre, cry out! Go across the sea to Tarshish.
7 Just look at Tyre. It's no longer the old, old city that was known for its wild parties. It no longer sends its people out to settle in lands far away.
8 Tyre was a city that produced kings. Its traders were princes. They were honored all over the earth. So who planned to destroy such a city?
9 The Lord who rules over all planned to do it. He wanted to bring down all of its pride and glory. He wanted to put to shame those who were honored all over the earth.
10 People of Tarshish, spread out over your land like the waters of the Nile. There isn't anything to hold you back anymore.
11 The Lord has reached his powerful hand out over the sea. He has made its kingdoms tremble with fear. He has given a command concerning Phoenicia. He has ordered that its forts be destroyed.
12 He said, "No more wild parties for you! People of Sidon, you are now destroyed! "Leave your city. Go across the sea to Cyprus. Even there you will not find any rest."
13 Look at the land of the Babylonians. No one lives there anymore. The Assyrians have turned it into a place for desert creatures. They built their towers in order to attack it. They took everything out of its forts. They knocked all of its buildings down.
14 Men in the ships of Tarshish, cry out! Mighty Tyre is destroyed!
15 A time is coming when people will forget about Tyre for 70 years. That's the length of a king's life. But at the end of those 70 years, Tyre will be like the prostitute that people sing about. They say,
16 "Forgotten prostitute, pick up a harp. Walk through the city. Play the harp well. Sing many songs. Then you will be remembered."
17 At the end of the 70 years, the Lord will punish Tyre. He will let it return to its way of life as a prostitute. It will earn its living with all of the kingdoms on the face of the earth.
18 But the money it earns will be set apart for the Lord. The money won't be stored up or kept for Tyre. Instead, it will go to those who live the way the Lord wants them to. It will pay for plenty of food and fine clothes for them.
1 The burden H4853 of Tyre H6865 . Howl H3213 , ye ships H591 CFP of Tarshish H8659 ; for H3588 CONJ it is laid waste H7703 , so that there is no house H1004 M-NMS , no entering in : from the land H776 M-NFS of Chittim H3794 W-EMS it is revealed H1540 to them .
2 Be still H1826 , ye inhabitants H3427 of the isle H339 ; thou whom the merchants H5503 of Zidon H6721 , that pass over H5674 the sea H3220 NMS , have replenished H4390 .
3 And by great H7227 AMP waters H4325 the seed H2233 NMS of Sihor H7883 , the harvest H7105 of the river H2975 , is her revenue H8393 ; and she is H1961 W-VQY3FS a mart H5505 of nations H1471 NMP .
4 Be thou ashamed H954 , O Zidon H6721 : for H3588 CONJ the sea H3220 NMS hath spoken H559 VQQ3MS , even the strength H4581 of the sea H3220 D-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , I travail H2342 not H3808 ADV , nor H3808 ADV bring forth children H3205 , neither H3808 W-NADV do I nourish up H1431 young men H970 , nor bring up H7311 virgins H1330 .

6 Pass ye over H5674 to Tarshish H8659 LFS-3FS ; howl H3213 , ye inhabitants H3427 of the isle H339 .
7 Is this H2063 D-PFS your joyous H5947 city , whose antiquity H6927 is of ancient H6924 NMS days H3117 ? her own feet H7272 shall carry H2986 her afar off H7350 to sojourn H1481 .
8 Who H4310 IPRO hath taken this counsel H3289 against H5921 PREP Tyre H6865 , the crowning H5849 city , whose H834 RPRO merchants H5503 are princes H8269 NMP , whose traders H3669 are the honorable H3513 of the earth H776 GFS ?
9 The LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 hath purposed H3289 it , to stain H2490 the pride H1347 CMS of all H3605 NMS glory H6643 , and to bring into contempt H7043 L-VHFC all H3605 NMS the honorable H3513 of the earth H776 GFS .
10 Pass through H5674 thy land H776 as a river H2975 , O daughter H1323 CFS of Tarshish H8659 : there is no H369 NPAR more H5750 ADV strength H4206 .
11 He stretched out H5186 VQQ3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS over H5921 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS , he shook H7264 the kingdoms H4467 : the LORD H3068 EDS hath given a commandment H6680 VPQ3MS against H413 PREP the merchant H3667 LMS city , to destroy H8045 the strongholds H4581 thereof .
12 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou shalt no H3808 ADV more H5750 ADV rejoice H5937 , O thou oppressed H6231 virgin H1330 , daughter H1323 CFS of Zidon H6721 : arise H6965 , pass over H5674 to Chittim H3794 ; there H8033 ADV also H1571 CONJ shalt thou have no rest H5117 VQY3MS .
13 Behold H2005 IJEC the land H776 GFS of the Chaldeans H3778 TMP ; this H2088 DPRO people H5971 was H1961 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV , till the Assyrian H804 GFS founded H3245 it for them that dwell in the wilderness H6728 : they set up H6965 the towers H971 thereof , they raised up H6209 the palaces H759 thereof ; and he brought H7760 it to ruin H4654 .
14 Howl H3213 , ye ships H591 CFP of Tarshish H8659 : for H3588 CONJ your strength H4581 is laid waste H7703 .
15 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , that Tyre H6865 shall be forgotten H7911 seventy H7657 ONUM years H8141 NFS , according to the days H3117 K-CMP of one H259 MMS king H4428 NMS : after the end H7093 M-CMS of seventy H7657 ONUM years H8141 NFS shall Tyre H6865 sing H7892 as a harlot H2181 .
16 Take H3947 a harp H3658 , go about H5437 the city H5892 GFS , thou harlot H2181 that hast been forgotten H7911 ; make sweet H3190 melody H5059 , sing many H7235 songs H7892 , that H4616 L-CONJ thou mayest be remembered H2142 .
17 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS after the end H7093 M-CMS of seventy H7657 ONUM years H8141 NFS , that the LORD H3068 EDS will visit H6485 VQY3MS Tyre H6865 , and she shall turn H7725 to her hire H868 , and shall commit fornication H2181 with H854 PREP all H3605 NMS the kingdoms H4467 of the world H776 D-GFS upon H5921 PREP the face H6440 CMP of the earth H127 D-NFS .
