Isaiah 23:10-12
Easy-to-Read Version
10 Ships from Tarshish, go back home.
Cross the sea as if it were a river.
No one will stop you now.
11 The Lord raised his arm over the sea
to make the kingdoms angry enough to fight against Tyre.
He commanded Canaan
to destroy her place of safety.[a]
12 He said, “Daughter Sidon,[b] you have been hurt badly,
so you will no longer rejoice like a bride.
Go ahead, go to Cyprus[c] for help,
but you will not find a place to rest there either.”
