Isaiah 23:1-7

The Oracle Against Tyre

Isaiah 23:1-7
1
A prophecy about Tzor: Howl, you "Tarshish" ships, because the harbor is destroyed! On returning from Kittim, they discover they cannot enter it.
2
Silence, you who live on the coast, you who have been enriched by the merchants of Tzidon crossing the sea.
3
By the great water the grain of Shichor, the harvest of the Nile, brought you profits. She was marketplace for the nations.
4
Shame, Tzidon, for the sea speaks; the fortress of the sea says, "I no longer have labor pains or bear children, yet I have raised neither boys nor girls.
5
When the report reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish at the fate of Tzor.
6
Cross over to Tarshish! Howl, you who live on the coast!
7
Is this your boisterous city, whose feet long ago in antiquity carried her off to found distant colonies?
