Isaiah 23:1-6

¹This is the burden against Tyre:

Wail, O ships of Tarshish,

for Tyre is laid waste,

without house or harbor.

Word has reached them

from the land of Cyprus.

²Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland,

you merchants of Sidon,

whose traders have crossed the sea.

³On the great waters

came the grain of Shihor;

the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre;

she was the merchant of the nations.

⁴Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea,

for the sea has spoken:

“I have not been in labor

or given birth.

I have not raised young men

or brought up young women.”

⁵When the report reaches Egypt,

they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

⁶Cross over to Tarshish;

wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

— Isaiah 23:1-6
