3 Your merchants sailed the seas,making you wealthy by tradingwith nation after nation.They brought back grainthat grew along the Nile.
4 Sidon, you are a mighty fortressbuilt along the sea.But you will be disgracedlike a married womanwho never had children.
5 When Egypt hears about Tyre,it will tremble.
6 All of you along the coasthad better cry and sailfar across the ocean.
7 Can this be the happy citythat has stood for centuries?Its people have spreadto distant lands;
8 its merchants were kingshonored all over the world.Who planned to destroy Tyre?
9 The Lord All-Powerful planned itto bring shame and disgraceto those who are honoredby everyone on earth.
