Isaiah 23:3

The Burden against Tyre

2Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea. 3On the great waters came the grain of Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre; she was the merchant of the nations. 4Be ashamed, O Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: “I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”
