The oracle concerning Tyre .
Wail ,
O ships of Tarshish ,
for Tyre is laid waste ,
without house or haven !
From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them .
*
Be still ,
O inhabitants of the coast ,
O merchants of Sidon ;
your messengers passed over the sea
*
and were on many waters ;
your revenue was the grain of Shihor ,
the harvest of the Nile ;
you were the merchant of the nations .
*
Be ashamed ,
O Sidon ,
for the sea has spoken ,
the stronghold of the sea ,
saying : "
I have neither travailed nor given birth ,
I have neither reared young men nor brought up virgins ."
