Isaiah 23:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
A Prophecy About Tyre
23 An oracle about Tyre.
Wail, you ships of Tarshish!
Because Tyre has been destroyed—
no more house or harbor![a]
This is the news they heard from Cyprus.[b]
2 Be silent, you who live along the coast,
you merchants of Sidon,
whose agents have crossed the sea[c] 3 on the great waters.
The grain of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, provided her income.
She was the marketplace of nations.
