Isaiah 23:14-16
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 23:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 Not a fortress will be left standing, so tell all the seagoing ships[a] to mourn.
15 The city of Tyre will be forgotten for 70 years, which is the lifetime of a king. Then Tyre will be like that evil woman in the song:
16 You're gone and forgotten,
you evil woman!
So strut through the town,
singing and playing
your favorite tune
to be remembered again.
