Isaiah 23:1-4

1The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them.

2Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of SidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390.1

3And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.

4Be thou ashamedH954, O SidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I travailH2342 not, nor bring forth childrenH3205, neither do I nourish upH1431 young menH970, nor bring upH7311 virginsH1330.
