1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed. There is no house and no harbor. From the land of Cyprus, it was revealed to them.
2 Be still, inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants of Sidon, your messengers crossing the sea.
3 On many waters the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her revenue and a marketplace of nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon. For the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not writhed or given birth. I have not reared young men or brought up maidens.”
5 When the report reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.
