Isaiah 23:1-4 ▼

1 Oracle on Tyre: Wail, ships of Tarshish, for your port is destroyed; From the land of the Kittim the news reaches them.

2 Silence! you who dwell on the coast, you merchants of Sidon, Whose messengers crossed the sea

3 over the deep waters, Whose revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, you who were the merchant among the nations.

4 Be ashamed, Sidon, fortress on the sea, for the sea has spoken, “I have not been in labor, nor given birth, nor raised young men, nor reared young women.”
