Isaiah 23:1-6

English Standard Version

Wail, O ^(C)ships of Tarshish,
    for Tyre is laid waste, ^(D)without house or harbor!
From ^(E)the land of Cyprus^[a]
    it is revealed to them.
² Be still, O inhabitants of the coast;
    the merchants of ^(F)Sidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.
³ And on many waters
your revenue was the grain of Shihor,
    the harvest of the Nile;
    you were ^(G)the merchant of the nations.
⁴ Be ashamed, O ^(H)Sidon, for the sea has spoken,
    the stronghold of the sea, saying:
“I have neither labored nor given birth,
    I have neither reared young men
    nor brought up young women.”
⁵ When the report comes to Egypt,
    they will be in anguish^[b] over the report about Tyre.
^6 (I)Cross over to Tarshish;
    wail, O inhabitants of the coast!
