Isaiah 23:8-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Who has planned such a thing
against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,
Whose merchants are princes,
whose traders are the earth’s honored men?
9 The Lord of hosts has planned it,
to disgrace the height of all beauty,
to degrade all the honored of the earth.(A)
Job 40:8

Would you condemn me that you may be justified?
