8 Who has counselled this against Tsor, the crowning city, whose merchants are chiefs, whose traders are the esteemed of the earth?
9 יהוה of hosts has counselled it, to defile the pride of all splendour, and to shame all the esteemed of the earth.
10 Overflow through your land like the River, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength.
11 He has stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the reigns; יהוה has given a command against Kena‛an to destroy its strongholds.
12 And He said, “Never again shall you exult, O you oppressed maiden daughter of Tsiḏon. Arise, pass over to Kittim, even there you shall find no rest.”
13 See the land of the Chaldeans – this people did not exist. Ashshur founded it for wild beasts of the desert. They set up their siege-towers, they demolished her palaces, and made her a ruin.
14 Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
