Isaiah 23:2-4
International Standard Version
2 “Be silent,[a] you inhabitants of the coast,
you merchants of Sidon,
whose messengers crossed over the sea,[b]
3 and were on mighty waters.
Her revenue was the grain of Shihor,
the harvest of the Nile;
and she became the marketplace of nations.
4 Be ashamed, Sidon, because the sea[c] has spoken,
the fortress of the sea:
I have neither been in labor nor given birth,
I have neither reared young men
nor brought up young women.”
