Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 23:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 All of you along the coast
had better cry and sail
far across the ocean.[a]
7 Can this be the happy city
that has stood for centuries?
Its people have spread
to distant lands;
8 its merchants were kings
honored all over the world.
Who planned to destroy Tyre?
Footnotes
- 23.6 far across the ocean: The Hebrew text has “to Tarshish,” probably meaning a long distance.
