Isaiah 23:1-18
The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor! From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.Be still, O inhabitants of the coast; the merchants of Sidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.And on many waters your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying:“ I have neither labored nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up young women.”When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coast!Is this your exultant city whose origin is from days of old, whose feet carried her to settle far away?Who has purposed this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?The Lord of hosts has purposed it, to defile the pompous pride of all glory, to dishonor all the honored of the earth.Cross over your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint anymore.He has stretched out his hand over the sea; he has shaken the kingdoms; the Lord has given command concerning Canaan to destroy its strongholds.And he said:“ You will no more exult, O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon; arise, cross over to Cyprus, even there you will have no rest.”Behold the land of the Chaldeans! This is the people that was not; Assyria destined it for wild beasts. They erected their siege towers, they stripped her palaces bare, they made her a ruin.Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute:“ Take a harp; go about the city, O forgotten prostitute! Make sweet melody; sing many songs, that you may be remembered.”At the end of seventy years, the Lord will visit Tyre, and she will return to her wages and will prostitute herself with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.Her merchandise and her wages will be holy to the Lord. It will not be stored or hoarded, but her merchandise will supply abundant food and fine clothing for those who dwell before the Lord.

Ezekiel 27:1-28
The word of the Lord came to me:“ Now you, son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre,and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:“ O Tyre, you have said,‘ I am perfect in beauty.’Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders made perfect your beauty.They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.Of oaks of Bashan they made your oars; they made your deck of pines from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail, serving as your banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning.The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you; they were your pilots.The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were in you, caulking your seams; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to barter for your wares.“ Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.Men of Arvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made perfect your beauty.“ Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares.Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.From Beth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.The men of Dedan traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony.Syria did business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and ruby.Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm.Damascus did business with you for your abundant goods, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and wool of Saharand casks of wine from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were bartered for your merchandise.Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored dealers in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you.The traders of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; they exchanged for your wares the best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold.Haran, Canneh, Eden, traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure.The ships of Tarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden in the heart of the seas.“ Your rowers have brought you out into the high seas. The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas.Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners and your pilots, your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, with all your crew that is in your midst, sink into the heart of the seas on the day of your fall.At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside shakes,
