Isaiah 23:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 over the deep waters,
Whose revenue was the grain of Shihor,[a] the harvest of the Nile,
you who were the merchant among the nations.(A)
4 Be ashamed, Sidon, fortress on the sea,
for the sea[b] has spoken,
“I have not been in labor, nor given birth,
nor raised young men,
nor reared young women.”
5 When the report reaches Egypt
they shall be in anguish at the report about Tyre.
