Bible. Isaiah
23:023:012 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed
virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there
also shalt thou have no rest.
23:023:013 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till
the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness:
they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces
thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
23:023:014 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
23:023:015 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be
forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king:
after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
23:023:016 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been
forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou
mayest be remembered.
23:023:017 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that
the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and
shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world
upon the face of the earth.
23:023:018 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the
LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her
merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to
eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
23:024:001 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,
and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
inhabitants thereof.
23:024:002 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as
with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so
with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as
with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of
usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
23:024:003 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for
the LORD hath spoken this word.
23:024:004 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and
fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
23:024:005 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
23:024:006 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that
dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the
earth are burned, and few men left.
23:024:007 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the
merryhearted do sigh.
23:024:008 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice
endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
23:024:009 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be
bitter to them that drink it.
