Gen Z: Isaiah 23
1Yo, Tyre's in ruins. Ships from Tarshish, y'all gotta howl; no houses, no chillin' allowed—Chittim spilled the tea on this.
2Stay chill, island peeps; those Zidon traders that roll over the waves got you stacked.
3Big waters, Sihor's seeds, and river vibes are where she gets her cash; she's a whole marketplace for nations.
4Zidon, you should be embarrassed; the sea’s throwing shade, like, "I ain't birthing anything or raising the young."
5Just like Egypt's news hit hard, Tyre’s gonna hurt the same way, no cap.
6Slide over to Tarshish; howl it out, island dwellers.
7Is this your hype city, with ancient vibes? She’s gonna wander off, no doubt.
8Who’s scheming against Tyre, the lit city with merchants who are straight-up royalty?
9The Lord's got plans to humble all that glory and make the fancy folks look sus.
10Flow through your land like a river, daughter of Tarshish; no more strength left, fr.
11He reached out over the sea, shook the kingdoms: the Lord said, "Merchant city, you're done for."
12No more hype for you, oppressed Zidon girl; get up, head over to Chittim; no chill there either.
13Check out the Chaldeans; they didn't exist until the Assyrian built it for wilderness dwellers; they made towers and palaces only to see it all crumble.
14Howl, Tarshish ships; your strength's gone, periodt.
15One day, Tyre’s gonna be forgotten for seventy years, like the reign of a king; after that, she'll be singing like a whole vibe.
16Grab a harp, go around the city, forgotten harlot; make some sweet tunes and drop those bangers, so you won’t be lost to time.
17After seventy years, the Lord's gonna check on Tyre, and she'll return to her hustle, getting with all the kingdoms on earth.
18Her goods and pay will be holy to the Lord; won’t be stored up; they’re for those in His presence, to eat and flex some fresh fits.
