Isaiah 23:3-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.

4. Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: "I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins."

5. When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.

6. Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!

7. Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.

8. Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
