Isaiah 23:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 The Lord of Hosts planned it,
to desecrate all its glorious beauty,
to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.
10 Overflow[a] your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish;
there is no longer anything to restrain you.[b]
11 He stretched out His hand over the sea;(A)
He made kingdoms tremble.
The Lord has commanded
that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed.

King James Version
9 The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
