6 Travel to Tarshish!Wail, you residents of the coast!
7 Is this really your boisterous city whose origins are in the distant past,and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?
8 Who planned this for royal Tyre,whose merchants are princes,whose traders are the dignitaries of the earth?
9 The Lord who commands armies planned it – to dishonor the pride that comes from all her beauty,to humiliate all the dignitaries of the earth.
10 Daughter Tarshish, travel back to your land, as one crosses the Nile;there is no longer any marketplace in Tyre.
11 The Lord stretched out his hand over the sea,he shook kingdoms;he gave the order to destroy Canaan’s fortresses.
12 He said,“You will no longer celebrate,oppressed virgin daughter Sidon!Get up, travel to Cyprus,but you will find no relief there.”
