## Isaiah 23:1-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/1) The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/2) Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/3) And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, *is* her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/4) Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, *even* the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, *nor* bring up virgins.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/5) As at the report concerning Egypt, *so* shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/6) Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/7) *Is* this your joyous *city*, whose antiquity *is* of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/8) Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning *city*, whose merchants *are* princes, whose traffickers *are* the honourable of the earth?
 
[Isaiah 22](/kjv/isaiah/22) [Isaiah 24](/kjv/isaiah/24)
