Wail, O ^(B)ships of ^(C)Tarshish,
For Tyre is destroyed, without house or ^[b](D)harbor;
It is revealed to them from the land of ^[c](E)Cyprus.
^2 (F)Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland,
You merchants of Sidon;
^[d]Your messengers crossed the sea
³ And were on many waters.
^(G)The ^[e]grain of ^[f](H)Shihor, the harvest of the Nile was her revenue;
And she was the nations’ ^(I)gain.
⁴ Be ashamed, O ^(J)Sidon;
For the sea speaks, the strong defense of the sea, saying,
“I have neither travailed nor given birth;
I have neither brought up choice men nor reared virgins.”
⁵ When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in ^(K)travail at the report of Tyre.
⁶ Pass over to ^(L)Tarshish;
Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
⁷ Is this your ^(M)exultant city,
Whose origin is from days of old,
Whose feet used to lead her to sojourn in distant places?

¹⁴ Wail, O ^(AA)ships of Tarshish,
For your strong defense is destroyed.

¹⁶ Take your harp, walk about the city,
O forgotten harlot;
Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs,
That you may be remembered.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Tyre and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they delivered up the whole community of exiles to Edom
And did not remember the covenant of ^[a](B)brotherhood.
¹⁰ So I will ^(C)send fire upon the wall of Tyre,
And it will consume her citadels.”

² And ^(A)Hamath also, which borders on it;
^(B)And Tyre and ^(C)Sidon, ^[a]because ^[b]they are ^(D)very wise.
³ So Tyre built herself a ^(E)tight fortification
And ^(F)tied up silver like dust
And ^(G)fine gold like the mire of the streets.
⁴ Behold, the Lord will ^(H)dispossess her
And strike her wealth down into the sea;
And she will be ^(I)consumed with fire.
