8Who has purposed this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth?
9Yahweh of hosts has purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10Pass through your land as the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no restraint any more.
11He has stretched out his hand over the sea, he has shaken the kingdoms: Yahweh has given commandment concerning Canaan, to destroy the strongholds of it.
12He said, You shall no more rejoice, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon: arise, pass over to Kittim; even there shall you have no rest.
13Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: this people was not; the Assyrian founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness; they set up their towers; they overthrew the palaces of it; they made it a ruin.
14Howl, you ships of Tarshish; for your stronghold is laid waste.
