Isaiah 23 New International Version (NIV)A Prophecy Against Tyre23 A prophecy against Tyre: Wail, you ships of Tarshish! 2 Be silent, you people of the island 4 Be ashamed, Sidon, and you fortress of the sea, 6 Cross over to Tarshish; 10 Till[b] your land as they do along the Nile, “Up, cross over to Cyprus; 14 Wail, you ships of Tarshish; 15 At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute: 16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city, 17 At the end of seventy years, the Lord will deal with Tyre. She will return to her lucrative prostitution and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. 18 Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the Lord; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the Lord, for abundant food and fine clothes. Footnotes:
