    and cry bitterly over you;

“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,

    the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants^(A) are princes,
    whose traders^(B) are renowned in the earth?
⁹ The Lord Almighty planned^(C) it,

    a haunt^(A) of jackals,
an object of horror and scorn,^(B)
    a place where no one lives.^(C)
