1 Here is a message about Tyre:Wail, you large ships,for the port is too devastated to enter!From the land of Cyprus this news is announced to them.
2 Lament, you residents of the coast,you merchants of Sidon who travel over the sea,whose agents sail over
3 the deep waters!Grain from the Shihor region,crops grown near the Nile she receives;she is the trade center of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon, for the sea says this, O fortress of the sea:“I have not gone into labor or given birth;I have not raised young menor brought up young women.”
5 When the news reaches Egypt,they will be shaken by what has happened to Tyre.
