Isaiah 2:16

“For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.”

Verse in context — Isaiah 2

For all the high mountains, for all the hills that are lifted up,

For every lofty tower, for every fortified wall,

For all the ships of Tarshish, and for all pleasant imagery.

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.

The idols shall utterly pass away.

Prophecies of judgment and hope, pointing to the coming Messiah.
