1An oracle concerning Tyre: Wail, ships of Tarshish, for it is destroyed, without house or harbor. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.

2Be silent, inhabitants of the coastland; the merchant of Sidon, crossing the sea, has filled you.

3On many waters was the grain of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, her revenue; and she became the merchant of nations.

4Be ashamed, Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men or exalted virgins.”

5When the report comes to Egypt, they will writhe at the report of Tyre.
