Isaiah 23:1-4 ▼

1 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish, || For it has been destroyed, || Without house, without entrance, || From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.

2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island, || Trader of Sidon, passing the sea, they filled you.

3 And the seed of Sihor [is] in many waters, || Her increase [is] the harvest of the brook, || And she is a market of nations.

4 Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea spoke, || The strength of the sea, saying, “I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, || Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.”
