Isaiah 23:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² Be still, O inhabitants of the coast,
    O merchants of Sidon;
your messengers crossed over the sea^[a](A)
3     and were on the mighty waters;
your revenue^[b] was the grain of Shihor,
    the harvest of the Nile;
    you were the merchant of the nations.^(B)
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken,
    the fortress of the sea, saying:
“I have neither labored nor given birth;
    I have neither reared young men
    nor brought up young women.”^(C)
