Isaiah 23:13-18

Isaiah 23:13-18

[13] Behold the land  of the Chaldeans;  this people  was not, till the Assyrian  founded  it for them that dwell in the wilderness:  they set up  the towers  thereof, they raised up  the palaces  thereof; and he brought  it to ruin.  [14] Howl,  ye ships  of Tarshish:  for your strength  is laid waste.  [15] And it shall come to pass in that day,  that Tyre  shall be forgotten  seventy  years,  according to the days  of one  king:  after the end  of seventy  years  shall Tyre  sing  as an harlot.  [16] Take  an harp,  go about  the city,  thou harlot  that hast been forgotten;  make sweet  melody,  sing many  songs,  that thou mayest be remembered.  [17] And it shall come to pass after the end  of seventy  years,  that the LORD  will visit  Tyre,  and she shall turn  to her hire,  and shall commit fornication  with all the kingdoms  of the world  upon the face  of the earth.  [18] And her merchandise  and her hire  shall be holiness  to the LORD:  it shall not be treasured  nor laid up;  for her merchandise  shall be for them that dwell  before  the LORD,  to eat  sufficiently,  and for durable  clothing.
