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.”
5 When the report comes to Egypt,they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.
