Isaiah 23:2-4

New Life Version

² Be quiet, you people who live on the islands, you traders of Sidon. You sent men to cross the sea ³ and go on many waters. The grain of the Nile, that was gathered beside that River, made money for Tyre who was the trader of the nations. ⁴ Be ashamed, O Sidon, the strong-place of the sea. The sea speaks and says, “I have not suffered or given birth. I have not brought up young men or young women.”
