Proclamation Against Tyre
Wail, you ships of Tarshish!
For it is laid waste,
So that there is no house, no harbor;
From the land of1 Cyprus it is revealed to them.
You merchants of Sidon,
1Whom those who cross the sea have filled.
The harvest of1 the River, is her revenue;
And ashe is a marketplace for the nations.
For the sea has spoken,
The strength of the sea, saying,
“I do not labor, nor bring forth children;
Neither do I rear young men,
Nor bring up virgins.”
| << Isaiah 23:1 | Isaiah 23:3 >> |
