  1. 23:4 Or for the god of the sea says; Hebrew reads for the sea, the fortress of the sea, says.

Be ashamed, Sidon,(A) and you fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(B)
    I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”

    they will be in anguish(C) at the report from Tyre.(D)

    wail, you people of the island.
