Isaiah 23:1-8

1The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865.

Howl, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid waste, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering in: from the landH776 of KittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them. 2Be still, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the coast, thou whom the merchants of SidonH6721, that passH5674 over the seaH3220, have replenished. 3And on greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of the ShihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the Nile, wasH1961 her revenue; and she wasH1961 the mart of nationsH1471. 4Be thou ashamedH954, O SidonH6721; for the seaH3220 hath spoken, the strongholdH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I have not travailed, nor broughtH3205 forthH3205, neither have I nourished youngH970 menH970, nor broughtH3205 up virginsH1330. 5WhenH834 the reportH8088 cometh to EgyptH4714, they shall be sorely pained at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865. 6PassH5674 ye over to TarshishH8659; wailH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the coast. 7Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient daysH3117, whose feetH7272 carried her afarH7350 off to sojourn?

8Who hath purposed this against TyreH6865, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants are princesH8269, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earthH776?
