Isaiah 23:2-6

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.

5As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.

6Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339.
