Isaiah 23:3-5
Living Bible

2-3 Deathly silence is everywhere. Stillness reigns where once your hustling port was full of ships from Sidon, bringing merchandise from far across the ocean, from Egypt and along the Nile. You were the merchandise mart of the world. 4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, stronghold of the sea. For you are childless now! 5 When Egypt hears the news, there will be great sorrow.

Isaiah 23:3-5
New International Version

3 On the great waters
    came the grain of the Shihor;(A)
the harvest of the Nile[a](B) was the revenue of Tyre,(C)
    and she became the marketplace of the nations.

4 Be ashamed, Sidon,(D) and you fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(E)
    I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”
5 When word comes to Egypt,
    they will be in anguish(F) at the report from Tyre.(G)
