Isaiah 23:1-8

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Isaiah 23:1-8

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!
7Is this your jubilant city,
whose origin is from antiquity,
whose feet have taken her
to settle far away?
8Who planned this against Tyre,
the bestower of crowns,
whose traders are princes,
whose merchants are renowned on the earth?
— Isaiah 23:1-8
