Isaiah 23:6

Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

Isaiah 23:6 · BSB

Isaiah 23:6 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 23.

2 Be silent, O dwellers of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, whose traders have crossed the sea.

3 On 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.

4 Be 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.”

5 When the report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre.

6 Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland!

7 Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?

8 Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are renowned on the earth?

9 The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.

10 Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
