Isaiah 23:3-10

3On many waters the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her revenue and a marketplace of nations.

4Be ashamed, O Sidon. For the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not writhed or given birth. I have not reared young men or brought up maidens.”

5When the report reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.

6Cross over to Tarshish. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!

7Is this your jubilant city? Whose antiquity is from long ago, whose feet have taken her to settle in far off lands?

8Who planned this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of earth?

9Adonai-Tzva’ot has planned it, to defile the pride of all glory, to shame all the honored of earth.

10Overflow through your land like the Nile, O daughter of Tarshish! There is no restraint any more.
