² Mourn in silence,
you shop owners of Sidon,^[a]
    you people on the coast.
Your sailors crossed oceans,
    making your city rich.

⁴ Sidon, you are a mighty fortress
    built along the sea.
But you will be disgraced
like a married woman
    who never had children.^[a]

¹² The Lord has said
    to the people of Sidon,
“Your celebrating is over—
    you are crushed.
Even if you escape to Cyprus,
    you won't find peace.”
