Isaiah 23:1-3

New Living Translation

Wail, you trading ships of Tarshish,
    for the harbor and houses of Tyre are gone!
The rumors you heard in Cyprus^[a]
    are all true.
² Mourn in silence, you people of the coast
    and you merchants of Sidon.
Your traders crossed the sea,^[b]
3     sailing over deep waters.
They brought you grain from Egypt^[c]
    and harvests from along the Nile.
You were the marketplace of the world.
