Isaiah 23:1-6

CLV(i) 1 LOAD OF TYRE Howl! Ships of Tharshish. For it is devastated of house and entry. They come no longer from the land of Kittim. A deportation has arrived also to them. 2 Be still! Dwellers of the coastland. The merchant of Sidon, passing over the sea, filled you, 3 and in many waters was the seed of the merchant. The harvest of the waterway was her income, and she became the mart of nations." 4 Be ashamed, Sidon! For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have not travailed, nor have I borne, and not brought up choice men, nor raised virgins." 5 As the report progresses to Egypt, they will travail. As to the report of Tyre, 6 they pass it through toward Tharshish; they will howl! Dwellers of the coastland!
