Isaiah 23:1-8

1The pronouncement concerning 1Tyre: Wail, you 2ships of 3Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or 4 5harbor; It is reported to them from the land of 6 7Cyprus.2 8Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; 9Your messengers crossed the sea3And were on many waters. 10The grain of the 11 12Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the 13market of nations.4Be ashamed, 14Sidon, For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have neither been in labor nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor raised virgins.”5When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in 15anguish over the report of Tyre.6Pass over to 16Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland.7Is this your 17jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to bring her to 18colonize distant places?

8Who has planned this against Tyre, 19the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?
