1. The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
2. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
3. And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations.
4. Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, the strong hold of the sea; saying, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.
5. When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6. Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
7. Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her afar off to sojourn?
