2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: 'I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.'
5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
