Isaiah 23:2-4
Common English Bible

2 Be still, inhabitants of the coast, traders of Sidon,
    whose messengers crossed over the sea,[a]
3     over the mighty waters.
The grain of Shihor, the Nile’s harvest, was her income;
    she was the marketplace of nations.
4 Be ashamed, Sidon, because the sea has spoken;
    the fortress of the sea has said,
    “I haven’t been in labor; I didn’t give birth;
    I never raised young men or brought up young women.”
