23:023:011 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.

23:023:012 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.

23:023:013 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.

23:023:014 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish:  for your strength is laid waste.

23:023:015 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.

23:023:016 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been
           forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou
           mayest be remembered.

23:023:017 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that
           the lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and
           shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world
           upon the face of the earth.

23:023:018 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the
           lord:  it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her
           merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the lord, to
           eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.

23:024:001 Behold, the lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste,
           and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the
           inhabitants thereof.

23:024:002 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.

23:024:003 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled:  for
           the lord hath spoken this word.

23:024:004 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and
           fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

23:024:005 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
           because they have transgressed the laws, changed the
           ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

23:024:006 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that
           dwell therein are desolate:  therefore the inhabitants of the
           earth are burned, and few men left.
