1. The burden of Tyre. Wail, ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed. There is no house and no harbor. From the land of Cyprus, it was revealed to them.
2. Be still, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, your messengers crossing the sea.
3. On many waters the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her revenue and a marketplace of nations.
4. Be ashamed, O Sidon. For the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not writhed or given birth. I have not reared young men or brought up maidens.”
