## Isaiah 23:7-8 in Context (Verses 4–11 KJV)
 
 [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?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/9) The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, *and* to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/10) Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: *there is* no more strength.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/isaiah/23/11) He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant *city*, to destroy the strong holds thereof.***
 
[Isaiah 22](/kjv/isaiah/22) [Isaiah 24](/kjv/isaiah/24)
