Isaiah 23:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ This city produced so many leaders.
    Its merchants were like princes.
Its traders had the whole world’s respect.
    So who made these plans against Tyre?
⁹ It was the Lord All-Powerful.
    He decided to destroy the great things they were so proud of.
    He wanted to disgrace those who were so highly respected.
¹⁰ Ships from Tarshish, go back home.
    Cross the sea as if it were a river.
    No one will stop you now.
