New Testament

Isaiah 23:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. This is the divine revelation about Tyre.Cry loudly, you ships of Tarshish!Your port at Tyre is destroyed.Word has come to the ships from Cyprus.

2. Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants from Sidon.Your messengers have crossed the sea.

3. The grain of Shihor is on the Mediterranean.The harvest of the Nile River is brought to Tyre.Tyre became the marketplace for the nations.

4. Be ashamed, Sidon, because the stronghold by the sea has spoken,“I’ve never been in labor or given birth.I’ve raised no sons.I’ve brought up no daughters.”

5. When the news reaches Egypt,the Egyptians will shudder over the news about Tyre.

6. Travel to Tarshish!Cry loudly, you inhabitants of the seacoast!

7. Is this your bustling city founded in the distant past?Is this the city that sent its people to settle in distant lands?
