Isaiah 23:1-3

New International Reader's Version

Men in the ships of Tarshish, cry out!
    The city of Tyre is destroyed.
    Its houses and harbor are gone.
That’s the message you have received
    from the island of Cyprus.

² People on the island of Tyre, be silent.
    Traders from the city of Sidon, be quiet.
    Those who sail on the Mediterranean Sea have made you rich.
³ Grain from Egypt
    came across the mighty waters.
The harvest of the Nile River brought wealth to Tyre.
    It became the market place of the nations.
