ISA 23:6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
ISA 23:7 Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days?
her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
ISA 23:8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city,
whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the
earth?
ISA 23:9 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.
ISA 23:10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish:
there is no more strength.
