Isaiah 23:4-6
Contemporary English Version

4 Sidon, you are a mighty fortress
    built along the sea.
But you will be disgraced
like a married woman
    who never had children.[a]

5 When Egypt hears about Tyre,
    it will tremble.
6 All of you along the coast
had better cry and sail
    far across the ocean.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 23.4 children: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
  2. 23.6 far across the ocean: The Hebrew text has “to Tarshish,” probably meaning a long distance.
