Isaiah 23:12

Read in context

Isaiah 23:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.

11 The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.

12 He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.”

13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans — a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.

14 Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your harbor has been destroyed!
