Isaiah 23:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
Isaiah 23:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 Can this be that happy city that was founded so long ago?
Is it that same city whose people traveled so far to settle other lands?[a]
8 This city produced so many leaders.
Its merchants were like princes.
Its traders had the whole world’s respect.
So who made these plans against Tyre?
9 It was the Lord All-Powerful.
He decided to destroy the great things they were so proud of.
He wanted to disgrace those who were so highly respected.

7 Is this your city of revelry,(A)
the old, old city,
whose feet have taken her
to settle in far-off lands?
8 Who planned this against Tyre,
the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants(B) are princes,
whose traders(C) are renowned in the earth?
9 The Lord Almighty planned(D) it,
to bring down(E) her pride in all her splendor
and to humble(F) all who are renowned(G) on the earth.
