Esias 23:2

2 To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Phoenice, passing over the sea

Esias 23:2 In-Context

1 THE WORD CONCERNING TYRE. Howl, ye ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and no longer arrive from the land of the Citians: she is led captive.

2 To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Phoenice, passing over the sea

3 in great waters, a generation of merchants? as when the harvest is gathered in, these traders with the nations.

4 Be ashamed, O Sidon: the sea has said, yea, the strength of the sea has said, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, nor have I brought up young men, nor reared virgins.

5 Moreover when it shall be heard in Egypt, sorrow shall seize them for Tyre.
