Isaiah 23:2 Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;
Isaiah 23:3 Who get in the seed of Shihor, whose wealth is the trade of the nations.

Isaiah 23:16 Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.
