- An oracle concerning Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbor. From the land of Cyprus word has come to them.
- Be silent, you people of the island and you merchants of Sidon, whom the seafarers have enriched.
- On the great waters came the grain of the Shihor; the harvest of the Nile was the revenue of Tyre, and she became the marketplace of the nations.
- Be ashamed, O Sidon, and you, O fortress of the sea, for the sea has spoken: "I have neither been in labor nor given birth; I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters."
- When word comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre.

- The oracle concerning Tyre Wail, O ships of Tarshish, For Tyre is destroyed, without house or harbor; It is reported to them from the land of Cyprus.
- Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea
- And were on many waters. The grain of the Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue; And she was the market of nations.
- Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."
- When the report reaches Egypt, They will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
