Isaiah 23:1-6

An Oracle Concerning Tyre and Sidon

1 The ^aoracle concerning ^bTyre.

Wail, O ^cships of Tarshish,
for Tyre is laid waste, ^dwithout house or harbor!
From ^ethe land of Cyprus ^{▼▼Hebrew Kittim; also verse 12}
it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, O inhabitants of the coast;
the merchants of ^gSidon, 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 ^hthe merchant of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O ⁱSidon, 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 ^{▼▼Hebrew they will have labor pains} over the report about Tyre.
6 ^kCross over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coast!
