Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon; your agents have crossed the sea on many waters. Tyre's revenue was the grain from Shihor -- the harvest of the Nile. She was the merchant among the nations. Be ashamed Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken: "I have not been in labor or given birth.

Words to Ponder
The sinner is indeed dead to God but very much alive to all wickedness. Some years ago I heard John Gerstner, a former professor at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, compare Paul's description of our sinful state to what horror stories call a zombie. In case you are not up on zombie literature, let me explain that a zombie is a person who has died but who is still up on his feet walking around. It is a pretty gruesome concept, which is why it is in horror stories. But it gets worse. This upright, walking human corpse is also putrefying. It is rotting away.

Apart from Jesus Christ, these sinning human corpses are the living dead. - James M. Boice (20th century)
