Wail, O ^(B)ships of ^(C)Tarshish,
For Tyre is destroyed, without house or ^[b](D)harbor;
It is reported 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 grain of the ^[e](H)Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue;
And she was the ^(I)market of nations.
⁴ Be ashamed, O ^(J)Sidon;
For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,
“I have neither travailed nor given birth,
I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins.”
⁵ When the report reaches Egypt,
They will be in ^(K)anguish 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 renowned city,
Which was ^(C)mighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who ^[a]imposed ^[b]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
