Wail,^(B) you ships^(C) of Tarshish!^(D)
    For Tyre is destroyed^(E)
    and left without house or harbor.
From the land of Cyprus
    word has come to them.

“For three sins of Tyre,^(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.^(B)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,^(C)
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
    that will consume her fortresses.^(D)”

² and on Hamath^(A) too, which borders on it,
    and on Tyre^(B) and Sidon,^(C) though they are very skillful.
³ Tyre has built herself a stronghold;
    she has heaped up silver like dust,
    and gold like the dirt of the streets.^(D)
4 But the Lord will take away her possessions
    and destroy^(E) her power on the sea,
    and she will be consumed by fire.^(F)
