Isaiah 23

YHWH pronounces an oracle against Ṣôr (Tyre), foretelling its merchants' mourning as trading partners like Ṣīdôn (Sidon), Egypt, and Cyprus face destruction or siege, leading to Tyre's humbling and temporary prostitution to kings before eventual restoration after seventy years, after which it will resume maritime trade under YHWH's sovereignty.
