1. Oracle on Tyre:Wail, ships of Tarshish,for your port is destroyed;From the land of the Kittimthe news reaches them.
2. Silence! you who dwell on the coast,you merchants of Sidon,Whose messengers crossed the sea
3. over the deep waters,Whose revenue was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile,you who were the merchant among the nations.
4. Be ashamed, Sidon, fortress on the sea,for the sea has spoken,“I have not been in labor, nor given birth,nor raised young men,nor reared young women.”
5. When the report reaches Egyptthey shall be in anguish at the report about Tyre.
6. Pass over to Tarshish,wail, you who dwell on the coast!
