Isaiah 23:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Be silent, you that dwell in the island: the merchants of Sidon passing over the sea, have filled thee.

³ The seed of the Nile in many waters, the harvest of the river is her revenue: and she is become the mart of the nations.

⁴ Be thou ashamed, O Sidon: for the sea speaketh, even the strength of the sea, saying: I have not been in labour, nor have I brought forth, nor have I nourished up young men, nor brought up virgins.
