2Be silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon, passing the sea, they filled thee.
3And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart of nations.
4Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the sea, saying: `I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth, Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.`
5As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the report of Tyre.
6Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,
7Is this your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn.
8Who hath counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one, whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of earth?`
