1. The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
2. Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3. The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
4. Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: "I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins."
5. When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6. Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
7. Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
