1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in; From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them. 2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast-land; Thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. 3 And on great waters the seed of Shihor, The harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; And she was the mart of nations. 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, The stronghold of the sea, saying: 'I have not travailed, nor brought forth, Neither have I reared young men, nor brought up virgins.' Isaiah 23:1-4, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
