THE SEA HATH SPOKEN EVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE SEA

ISAIAH 23:2-8

BE STILL, 
YE INHABITANTS OF THE ISLE; 
THOU WHOM 
THE MERCHANTS OF ZIDON, 
THAT PASS OVER THE SEA, 
HAVE REPLENISHED. 
AND BY GREAT WATERS 
THE SEED OF SIHOR, 
THE HARVEST OF THE RIVER, 
IS HER REVENUE; 
AND SHE IS A MART OF NATIONS
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. 
AS AT THE REPORT 
CONCERNING EGYPT, 
SO SHALL THEY BE 
SORELY PAINED AT 
THE REPORT OF TYRE.
PASS YE OVER TO TARSHISH; 
HOWL, 
YE INHABITANTS OF THE ISLE.
 IS THIS YOUR JOYOUS CITY, 
WHOSE ANTIQUITY 
IS OF ANCIENT DAYS?
 HER OWN FEET SHALL 
CARRY HER AFAR OFF 
TO SOJOURN. 
WHO HATH TAKEN THIS 
COUNSEL AGAINST TYRE, 
THE CROWNING CITY,
 WHOSE MERCHANTS ARE PRINCES, 
WHOSE TRAFFICKERS 
ARE THE HONORABLE OF THE EARTH?

LOVE
