Isaiah 23:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Be silent, you who dwell along the coast,
    you merchants of Sidon,
whose messengers crossed over the sea
³     to the vast ocean.
The grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile
    provided your revenue;
    you were the merchant for the nations.
⁴ Be ashamed, O Sidon, the fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has declared:
“I have not endured the anguish of labor,
    nor have I given birth;
I have not reared young men
    or brought up young women.”
