Oracle against Tyre

23 The oracle of Tyre:

Wail, ships of Tarshish, for the house is destroyed so that no one can enter;[a]
    it is announced to them from the land of Cyprus.
Be still, inhabitants of the coast,
    merchant of Sidon, who travels over the sea, they filled you.
And on the great waters is the seed of Shihor,
    the harvest of the Nile is its produce,
    and she was the merchandise of the nations.

Wail,(B) you ships(C) of Tarshish!(D)

    and you merchants(G) of Sidon,(H)

the harvest of the Nile[a](J) was the revenue of Tyre,(K)
