1. The oracle concerning Tyre. Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.
2. Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea
3. And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.
4. Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."
5. When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6. Pass over to Tarshish; Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
7. Is this your jubilant city, Whose origin is from antiquity, Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?
