Isaiah 23:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Tyre was a city that produced kings.
    Its traders were princes.
They were honored all over the earth.
    So who planned to destroy such a city?
⁹ The Lord who rules over all planned to do it.
    He wanted to bring down all its pride and glory.
    He wanted to shame those who were honored all over the earth.
