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.

¹⁸ By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire^(A) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes^(B) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.^(C)
