Isaiah 23:9 BBE

⁷  Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?

⁸  By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?

⁹  It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.

¹⁰  Let your land be worked with the plough, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer any harbour.

¹¹  His hand is stretched out over the sea, the kingdoms are shaking: the Lord has given orders about Canaan, to make waste its strong places.
