Isaiah 23:5-11
New American Standard Bible
5 When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in (A)anguish over the report of Tyre.
6 Pass over to (B)Tarshish;
Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland.
7 Is this your (C)jubilant city,
Whose origin is from antiquity,
Whose feet used to bring her to [a]colonize distant places?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre, (D)the bestower of crowns,
Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
9 (E)The Lord of armies has planned it, to (F)defile the pride of all beauty,
To despise all the (G)honored of the earth.
10 [b]Overflow your land like the Nile, you daughter of Tarshish,
There is no more [c]restraint.
11 He has (H)stretched His hand out (I)over the sea,
He has (J)made the kingdoms tremble;
The Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to (K)demolish its strongholds.
