7 Is this your joyous city,Whose antiquity is from ancient days,Whose feet carried her far off to dwell?
8 Who has taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city,Whose merchants are princes,Whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
9 The Lord of hosts has purposed it,To bring to dishonor the pride of all glory,To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Overflow through your land like the River,O daughter of Tarshish;There is no more strength.
11 He stretched out His hand over the sea,He shook the kingdoms;The Lord has given a commandment against CanaanTo destroy its strongholds.
12 And He said, “You will rejoice no more,O you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.Arise, cross over to Cyprus;There also you will have no rest.”
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans,This people which was not;Assyria founded it for wild beasts of the desert.They set up its towers,They raised up its palaces,And brought it to ruin.
