1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, ye ships of Tarshish, for it was laid waste from a house from going in: from the land of Chittim it was uncovered to them.

2 Be ye silent, O inhabitants of the isle; the merchants of Zidon passing over the sea filled thee.

3 On many waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river her produce; and she shall be the emporium of nations.

4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea said, the strength of the sea, saying, I was not pained, I brought not forth, and I caused not youths to grow, and I raised not up virgins.
