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.

‘^(B)How you have perished, O inhabited one,
From the seas, O city that was praised,
Which was ^(C)strong on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who ^[a]imposed ^[b]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
