Isaiah 23:1-8

1The 1oracle concerning 2Tyre. Wail, O 3ships of 4Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or 56harbor; It is reported to them from the land of 78Cyprus.29Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; 10Your messengers crossed the sea3And were on many waters. 11The grain of the 1213Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the 14market of nations.4Be ashamed, O 15Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins.”5When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in 16anguish at the report of Tyre.6Pass over to 17Tarshish; Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.7Is this your 18jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her to 19colonize distant places?

8Who has planned this against Tyre, 20the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
