Isaiah 23:9 Context
7Is this your ioyous citie, whose antiquitie is of ancient dayes? her owne feete shall cary her afarre off to soiourne. 8Who hath taken this counsell against Tyre the crowning citie, whose merchants are princes, whose traffiquers are the honourable of the earth? 9The Lord of hostes hath purposed it, to staine the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth. 10Passe through thy land as a riuer O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. 11He stretched out his hand ouer the sea, hee shooke the kingdomes: the Lord hath giuen a commandement against the merchant citie, to destroy the strong holdes thereof.
