5 When the news reaches Egypt,the Egyptians will shudder over the news about Tyre.
6 Travel to Tarshish!Cry loudly, you inhabitants of the seacoast!
7 Is this your bustling city founded in the distant past?Is this the city that sent its people to settle in distant lands?
8 Who planned such a thing against Tyre, the city that produced kings?Its merchants are princes.Its traders are among the honored people of the world.
9 The Lord of Armies planned thisin order to dishonor all arrogant peopleand to humiliate all the honored people of the world.
10 Travel through your country like the Nile, people of Tarshish.You no longer have a harbor.
11 The Lord has stretched his hand over the sea to shake kingdoms.He has commanded that Canaan’s fortifications be destroyed.
