Wail, ships of Tarshish, for the house is destroyed so that no one can enter;^[a]
    it is announced to them from the land of Cyprus.
² Be still, inhabitants of the coast,
    merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, they filled you.
³ And on the great waters is the seed of Shihor,
    the harvest of the Nile is its produce,
    and she was the merchandise of the nations.
⁴ Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea,
    the fortress of the sea said, saying,
“I was not in labor,
    and I have not given birth,
and I have not reared young men,
    brought^[b] up young women.”
⁵ When the report comes to Egypt,
    they will be in anguish at the report about^[c] Tyre.
⁶ Cross over to Tarshish!
    Wail, inhabitants of the coast!
⁷ Is this your exultant one,^[d] her origin from the days of long ago?
    Her feet brought her to dwell afar as an alien.
⁸ Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,^[e]
    whose merchants were princes,
    her traders the honored ones of the earth?
⁹ Yahweh of hosts has planned it:
    to defile the pride of all glory,
    to humble all the honored ones of the earth.
¹⁰ Cross over your own land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish;
    there is no longer a harbor.^[f]
11 He has stretched his hand out over the sea;
    he has made kingdoms shake.
Yahweh has commanded concerning Canaan
    to destroy her fortresses.

“You will not continue^[g] to exult, crushed one, virgin^[h] daughter of Sidon.
    Arise, cross over to Cyprus! There will be no rest for you even there.”
¹³ Look at the land of the Chaldeans!
    This people no longer exists.
    Assyria destined^[i] it for wild animals.
They erected its siege towers;
    they demolished its citadel fortresses.
    It made her like a ruin.
¹⁴ Wail, ships of Tarshish!
    For your fortress is destroyed.
