ABP - Isaiah - 23

23:1  The matter of Tyre. Shriek O boats of Carthage! For she perished, and no longer do they come from out of the land of Chittim; she is led captive.

23:2  To whom [8likened 1have 7become 2the ones 3dwelling 4in 5the 6island]; traders of Phoenicia passing through the sea;

23:3  in [2water 1much]; a seed of traders; [5as 6a harvest 7being carried in 1the 2traders 3of the 4nations].

23:4  Be ashamed, O Sidon, said the sea! Even the strength of the sea said, I travailed not, nor gave birth, nor nourished young ones, nor raised up virgins.

23:5  But whenever [2audible 1it should become] in Egypt, [2shall overtake them 1grief] concerning Tyre.

23:6  Go forth to Carthage! Shriek! O ones dwelling in this island.

23:7  [3not 2this 1Was] your insolence, the one from the beginning, before she was delivered up?

23:8  Who planned these things against Tyre? [2she inferior 1Is] or not strong? Her merchants were the glorious rulers of the earth.

23:9  The lord of Hosts plans to disable all the insolence of the glorious ones, and to dishonor every glorious thing upon the earth.

23:10  Work your land! for even boats no longer come from out of Carthage.

23:11  And your hand no longer prevails against the sea, O one provoking kings. The lord of Hosts gave charge concerning Canaan, to destroy her strength.

23:12  And they shall say, No longer in any way should you proceed to insult and to wrong the daughter of Zion; and if you should go forth to Chittim, not even there shall be rest to you.

23:13  And if you depart unto the land of the Chaldeans, even this was made desolate from the Assyrians, not even there [2to you 1will be rest], for her wall has fallen.

23:14  Shriek! boats of Carthage, for [2is destroyed 1your fortress].

23:15  And it will be in that day, Tyre shall be forsaken [2years 1for seventy], as the time [2king 1of one], as the time of a man. And after seventy years Tyre will be as the song of a harlot.

23:16  Take a harp! Stray! [2city 1O harlot] being forgotten. [2well 1Play the harp]! [2much 1Sing]! that the memory of you takes place.

23:17  And it will be after the seventy years, [3a visit 2will make 1God] to Tyre, and again she shall be restored to her ancient state; and she shall be a market-place for all the kingdoms of the inhabitable world upon the face of the earth.

23:18  And [5will be 1her 2trade 3and 4wage] holy to the lord. [2not 4to them 1It shall 3be brought], but to the ones dwelling before the lord, even all her trade, to eat and to drink, and be filled, and for a compact memorial before the lord.
