4 City of Sidon, you are disgraced! The sea and the great ocean depths disown you and say, “I never had any children. I never brought up sons or daughters.”
5 Even the Egyptians will be shocked and dismayed when they learn that Tyre has been destroyed.
6 Howl with grief, you people of Phoenicia! Try to escape to Spain!
7 Can this be the joyful city of Tyre, founded so long ago? Is this the city that sent settlers across the sea to establish colonies?
8 Who was it that planned to bring all this on Tyre, that imperial city, whose merchant princes were the most honoured men on earth?
9 The Lord Almighty planned it. He planned it in order to put an end to their pride in what they had done and to humiliate their honoured ones.
10 Go and farm the land, you people in the colonies in Spain! There is no one to protect you any more.
