Isaiah 23:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ The Lord has stretched his hand over the sea.
    He makes its kingdoms tremble.
He commands that Canaan’s
    places of safety be destroyed.
¹² The Lord said, “Sidon, you will not rejoice any longer.
    You are destroyed.
Even if you cross the sea to Cyprus,
    you will not find a place to rest.”
¹³ Look at the land of the Babylonians.
    Babylonia is not a country now.
Assyria has made it a place for wild animals.
    Assyria built towers to attack it.
The soldiers took all the treasures from its cities.
    They turned it into ruins.
