37. COD - Isaiah - Ch 20 - 29

20:2-6

At the same time
spake the LORD by
Isaiah the son of Amoz,
saying, Go and loose
the sackcloth from off
thy loins, and put off
thy shoe from thy foot.
And he did so, walking
naked and barefoot. *2

And the LORD said,
Like as my servant Isaiah
hath walked naked and
barefoot three years for
a sign and wonder upon
Egypt and upon Ethiopia; *3

So shall the king of
Assyria lead away the
Egyptians prisoners,
and the Ethiopians captives,
young and old, naked
and barefoot, even with
their buttocks uncovered,
to the shame of Egypt. *4

And they shall be afraid
and ashamed of Ethiopia
their expectation, and
of Egypt their glory. *5

And the inhabitant of this
isle shall say in that day,
Behold, such is our expectation,
whither we flee for help
to be delivered from the
king of Assyria: and
how shall we escape? *6

23:1-18

The burden of Tyre. Howl,
ye ships of Tarshish; for it
is laid waste, so that there
is no house, no entering in:
from the land of Chittim
it is revealed to them. *1

Be still, ye inhabitants
of the isle; thou whom
the merchants of Zidon,
that pass over the sea,
have replenished. *2

And by great waters the
seed of Sihor, the harvest
of the river, is her revenue;
and she is a mart of nations. *3

Be thou ashamed, O Zidon:
for the sea hath spoken, even
the strength of the sea, saying,
I travail not, nor bring forth
children, neither do I nourish
up young men, nor
bring up virgins. *4

As at the report concerning
Egypt, so shall they be sorely
pained at the report of Tyre. *5

Pass ye over to Tarshish;
howl, ye inhabitants
of the isle. *6

Is this your joyous city,
whose antiquity is
of ancient days?
her own feet
shall carry her afar
off to sojourn. *7

Who hath taken this counsel
against Tyre, the crowning city,
whose merchants are princes,
whose traffickers are the
honourable of the earth? *8

The LORD of hosts hath
purposed it, to stain the
pride of all glory, and to
bring into contempt all the
honourable of the earth. *9

Pass through thy land
as a river, O daughter
of Tarshish: there is
no more strength. *10

He stretched out his hand
over the sea, he shook
the kingdoms: the LORD hath
given a commandment against
the merchant city, to destroy
the strong holds thereof. *11

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. *12

13 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. *13

Howl, ye ships of Tarshish:
for your strength is laid waste. *14

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. *15

Take an harp, go about
the city, thou harlot that
hast been forgotten;
make sweet melody,
sing many songs, that thou
mayest be remembered. *16
