1 The message concerning Tsor. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it has been destroyed, without house, without harbour. From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them.
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Tsiḏon, who passed over the sea, they filled you.
3 And on great waters the grain of Shiḥor, the harvest of the River, was her increase. And she was a market-place for the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Tsiḏon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not laboured, nor brought forth children; neither have I reared young men, brought up maidens.”
5 Like the report of Mitsrayim, they too are grieved at the report of Tsor.
6 Pass over to Tarshish; wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!
