Isaias

10 Pass through thy land as the river, daughter of Tarshish 3 there is no girdle any more.

11 He hath stretched out his hand Over the sea, he hath disquieted kingdoms 3 the Lord hath given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds thereof.

12 And he said, Thou shalt no more be jubilant, thou outraged virgin-daughter of Zidon 3 arise, pass over to Chittim; there also thou shalt have no rest.

13 Behold the land of the Chaldaeans; 3 this people not: Asshur founded it for desert creatures; they set up his (watch-) towers, they roused up her palaces 3 he hath made her a ruin.

14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; 3 for your stronghold is destroyed

15 And it shall be in that day, that Tyre shall beforgotten seventy years, as the days of one king; from the end of seventy years shall it be to Tyre as the song of the harlot.

16 Take a harp, go about the city, forgotten harlot; 3 do well in playing, do much singing, that thou mayest be remembered.

17 And it shall be, from the end of seventy years, the Lord shall visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall play the harlot with all the kingdoms of the earth on the face of the ground.

18 And her gain and her hire shall be holy to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor stored up ; but her gain shall belong to those that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for stately clothing.

XXIV. 1 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it void, and overturneth the face thereof, and scattereth the inhabitants thereof.

2 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.

3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.

4 The earth mourneth, fadeth ; the world languisheth, fadeth; the highness of the people of the earth languisheth.
