Isaiah 23:9-11
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
9 The Lord of hosts has planned it—
to defile the pride of all glory,
to shame all the honoured ones of the earth.
10 Cross over to your own land,
O ships of[a] Tarshish;
this is a harbour[b] no more.
11 He has stretched out his hand over the sea,
he has shaken the kingdoms;
the Lord has given command concerning Canaan
to destroy its fortresses.

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.
