2Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants from Sidon. 

Your messengers have crossed the sea. 

3The grain of Shihor is on the Mediterranean. 

The harvest of the Nile River is brought to Tyre. 

Tyre became the marketplace for the nations.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Be still, O inhabitants of the coast;

the merchants of Sidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.

And on many waters

your revenue was the grain of Shihor,

the harvest of the Nile;

you were the merchant of the nations.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Be silent, you people of the island

and you merchants of Sidon,

whom the seafarers have enriched.

On the great waters

came the grain of the Shihor;

the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre,

and she became the marketplace of the nations.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland,

you merchants of Sidon;

your agents have crossed the sea

over deep water.

Tyre’s revenue was the grain from Shihor—

the harvest of the Nile.

She was the merchant among the nations.

NLTNew Living Translation

Mourn in silence, you people of the coast

and you merchants of Sidon.

Your traders crossed the sea,

sailing over deep waters.

They brought you grain from Egypt

and harvests from along the Nile.

You were the marketplace of the world.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Be still, inhabitants of the coast,

merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, they filled you.

And on the great waters is the seed of Shihor,

the harvest of the Nile is its produce,

and she was the merchandise of the nations.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
