And on many waters
your revenue was the grain of Shihor,
    the harvest of the Nile;
    you were (A)the merchant of the nations.
Be ashamed, O (B)Sidon, for the sea has spoken,
    the stronghold of the sea, saying:
“I have neither laboured nor given birth,
    I have neither reared young men
    nor brought up young women.”
When the report comes to Egypt,
    they will be in anguish[a] over the report about Tyre.
