Yeshayah 23:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. The massa (burden) of Tzor. Howl, ye oniyyot (ships) of Tarshish; for it is destroyed, so that there is no bais, no entering in; from the Eretz Kittim [Land of Cyprus] niglah (it is revealed) to them.

2. Be still, ye inhabitants of the ee (isle, island); thou whom the sokher (merchant) of Tzidon, that pass over the yam, have enriched.

3. And by mayim rabbim, the zera (grain) of Shikhor [Nile], the katzir (harvest) of the Shikhor [Nile], is her tevuah (produce, income); and she is a Sakhar Goyim (market bazaar of nations).

4. Be thou ashamed, O Tzidon; for the yam hath spoken, even the ma'oz (fortress) of the yam, saying, I travail not, nor give birth, neither do I rear bochurim, nor bring up betulot.

5. As at the report concerning Mitzrayim, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tzor.

6. Cross ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the ee (isle, island).

7. Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? Her own raglayim shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
