Isaiah 23:3

3 and were on many waters; your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.

Isaiah 23:3 In-Context

1 The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or haven! From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, O inhabitants of the coast, O merchants of Sidon; your messengers passed over the sea
3 and were on many waters; your revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile; you were the merchant of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither reared young men nor brought up virgins.
5 When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.
