Be ashamed, O Sidon, the fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has declared:
“I have not endured the anguish of labor,
    nor have I given birth;
I have not reared young men
    or brought up young women.”

    they will writhe in anguish
    upon hearing the fate of Tyre.
Cross over to Tarshish;
    wail, you inhabitants of the coast.
