Isaiah 23:6-8

The Voice

⁶ So you who live along the coast,
    make for Tarshish, and bewail your fate.
⁷ One wonders: could this really be the same city?
    It was so jubilant, so magnificent, so commanding for its trade.
Is this the city that’s been around longer than memory
    and her citizens have traveled to exotic, faraway places?
⁸ Tyre’s merchants and traders were princes and nobles,
    respected everywhere around the world.
Who did this to Tyre,
    a city that awards honor with crowns?
