1. The oracle concerning Tyre.Wail, O ships of Tarshish,for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor!From the land of Cyprusit is revealed to them.
2. Be still, O inhabitants of the coast;the merchants of Sidon, who cross the sea, have filled you.
3. And on many watersyour revenue was the grain of Shihor,the harvest of the Nile;you were the merchant of the nations.
4. Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken,the stronghold of the sea, saying:“I have neither labored nor given birth,I have neither reared young mennor brought up young women.”
