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.

⁹ Surely the islands^(A) look to me;
    in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,^[a](B)
bringing^(C) your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,^(D)
to the honor^(E) of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One^(F) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.^(G)
