Isaiah 23:1-4 ▼

1 A message concerning Tyre. |Wail, you ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is destroyed and is without house or harbor! From the land of Cyprus it was revealed to them.

2 |Be silent, you inhabitants of the coast, you merchants of Sidon, whose messengers crossed over the sea,

3 and were on mighty waters. Her revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; and she became the marketplace of nations.

4 Be ashamed, Sidon, because the sea has spoken, the fortress of the sea: I have neither been in labor nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up young women.|
