Isaiah 23:1-4 ▼

1 Here is a message about Tyre: Wail, you large ships, for the port is too devastated to enter! From the land of Cyprus this news is announced to them.

2 Lament, you residents of the coast, you merchants of Sidon who travel over the sea, whose agents sail over

3 the deep waters! Grain from the Shihor region, crops grown near the Nile she receives; she is the trade center of the nations.

4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea says this, O fortress of the sea: |I have not gone into labor or given birth; I have not raised young men or brought up young women.|
