Isaiah 23:3-10

3And on greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of ShihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the NileH2975, was herH1961 revenueH8393; and she was the mart of nationsH1471.

4Be thou ashamedH954, O Zidon: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, the strongH4581 hold of the seaH3220; sayingH559, I have notH3808 travailed, norH3808 broughtH3205 forthH3205, neitherH3808 have I nourished youngH970 menH970, norH3808 broughtH3205 upH7311 virginsH1330.

5When the reportH8088 cometh to EgyptH4714, they shall be sorely pained at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.

6PassH5674 ye over to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isle.

7Is this your joyous cityH6927, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancient daysH3117, whose feetH7272 carriedH2986 herH3117 afarH7350 offH7350 to sojourn?

8Who hath purposedH3289 this againstH5921 TyreH6865, the crowning city, whoseH834 merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whoseH834 traffickers are the honourable of the earthH776?

9The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stain the prideH1347 of allH3605 gloryH3513, to bring intoH776 contemptH7043 allH3605 the honourable of the earthH776.

10PassH5674 throughH5674 thy landH776 as the NileH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659; there is noH369 girdle aboutH776 thee anyH5750 moreH5750.
