Through My Bible Yr 1 – December 23
Bible reading based on Isaiah 22:15-23:18 (NIV84) 15 This is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: 16 What are you doing here and who gave you permission 17 “Beware, the LORD is about to take firm hold of you 18 He will roll you up tightly like a ball
19 I will depose you from your office, 20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. 21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will be a seat [a] of honor for the house of his father. 24All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars. 25“In that day,” declares the LORD Almighty, “the peg driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The LORD has spoken. 1 An oracle concerning Tyre: 2 Be silent, you people of the island
3 On the great waters 4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, and you, O fortress of the sea, 5 When word comes to Egypt, 6 Cross over to Tarshish; 7 Is this your city of revelry, 8 Who planned this against Tyre, 9 The LORD Almighty planned it, 10 Till [d] your land as along the Nile, 11 The LORD has stretched out his hand over the sea 12 He said, “No more of your reveling, 13 Look at the land of the Babylonians, [g] 14 Wail, you ships of Tarshish; 15At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the span of a king’s life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute: 16 “Take up a harp, walk through the city, 17 At the end of seventy years, the LORD will deal with Tyre. She will return to her hire as a prostitute and will ply her trade with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. 18 Yet her profit and her earnings will be set apart for the LORD; they will not be stored up or hoarded. Her profits will go to those who live before the LORD, for abundant food and fine clothes.

“Go, say to this steward,
to Shebna, who is in charge of the palace:
to cut out a grave for yourself here,
hewing your grave on the height
and chiseling your resting place in the rock?
and hurl you away, O you mighty man.
and throw you into a large country.
There you will die
and there your splendid chariots will remain—
you disgrace to your master’s house!
and you will be ousted from your position.Isaiah 23
A Prophecy About Tyre
Wail, O ships of Tarshish!
For Tyre is destroyed
and left without house or harbor.
From the land of Cyprus [b]
word has come to them.
and you merchants of Sidon,
whom the seafarers have enriched.
came the grain of the Shihor;
the harvest of the Nile [c] was the revenue of Tyre,
and she became the marketplace of the nations.
for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;
I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”
they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre.
wail, you people of the island.
the old, old city,
whose feet have taken her
to settle in far-off lands?
the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants are princes,
whose traders are renowned in the earth?
to bring low the pride of all glory
and to humble all who are renowned on the earth.
O Daughter of Tarshish,
for you no longer have a harbor.
and made its kingdoms tremble.
He has given an order concerning Phoenicia [e]
that her fortresses be destroyed.
O Virgin Daughter of Sidon, now crushed!
“Up, cross over to Cyprus [f] ;
even there you will find no rest.”
this people that is now of no account!
The Assyrians have made it
a place for desert creatures;
they raised up their siege towers,
they stripped its fortresses bare
and turned it into a ruin.
your fortress is destroyed!
O prostitute forgotten;
play the harp well, sing many a song,
so that you will be remembered.”
