Tyre Will Be Punished

23 This is the divine revelation about Tyre.

Cry loudly, you ships of Tarshish!
Your port at Tyre is destroyed.
Word has come to the ships from Cyprus.
Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, you merchants from Sidon.
Your messengers have crossed the sea.
The grain of Shihor is on the Mediterranean.
The harvest of the Nile River is brought to Tyre.
Tyre became the marketplace for the nations.
