Isaiah 23:1-3

Modern English Version

Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
    for Tyre is laid waste
    so that there is no house or harbor;
from the land of Cyprus
    it is reported to them.

² Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
    you merchants of Sidon;
    your messengers passed over the sea,
³ and were on many waters;
    the grain of the Nile,
the harvest of the River^[a] was her revenue;
    and she was the market of nations.
