Isaiah 23:7
Isaiah 23:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin dates back to antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her [far away] to colonize distant places?
Isaiah 23:6-12 The Message (MSG)
Visit Tarshish, you who live on the seacoast. Take a good, long look and wail—yes, cry buckets of tears! Is this the city you remember as energetic and alive, bustling with activity, this historic old city, Expanding throughout the globe, buying and selling all over the world? And who is behind the collapse of Tyre, the Tyre that controlled the world markets? Tyre’s merchants were the business tycoons. Tyre’s traders called all the shots. GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies ordered the crash to show the sordid backside of pride and puncture the inflated reputations. Sail for home, O ships of Tarshish. There are no docks left in this harbor. GOD reached out to the sea and sea traders, threw the sea kingdoms into turmoil. GOD ordered the destruction of the seacoast cities, the centers of commerce. GOD said, “There’s nothing left here to be proud of, bankrupt and bereft Sidon. Do you want to make a new start in Cyprus? Don’t count on it. Nothing there will work out for you either.”
Isaiah 23:7 King James Version (KJV)
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Isaiah 23:7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?
Isaiah 23:7 New Century Version (NCV)
Look at your once happy city! Look at your old, old city! People from that city have traveled far away to live.
Isaiah 23:7 American Standard Version (ASV)
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
Isaiah 23:7 New International Version (NIV)
Is this your city of revelry, the old, old city, whose feet have taken her to settle in far-off lands?
Isaiah 23:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
Is this your joyous city, Whose antiquity is from ancient days, Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?
Isaiah 23:7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Is this silent ruin all that is left of your once joyous city? What a long history was yours! Think of all the colonists you sent to distant places.
