8 Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, her traders the honored ones of the earth?
9 Yahweh of hosts has planned it: to defile the pride of all glory, to humble all the honored ones of the earth.
10 Cross over your own land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
11 He has stretched his hand out over the sea; he has made kingdoms shake. Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan to destroy her fortresses.
12 And he said, “You will not continue to exult, crushed one, virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, cross over to Cyprus! There will be no rest for you even there.”
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans! This people no longer exists. Assyria destined it for wild animals. They erected its siege towers; they demolished its citadel fortresses. It made her like a ruin.
14 Wail, ships of Tarshish! For your fortress is destroyed.
