And on great waters the grain of Shihor,
The harvest of [a]the River, is her revenue;
And (A)she is a marketplace for the nations.

Be ashamed, O Sidon;
For the sea has spoken,
The strength of the sea, saying,
“I do not labor, nor bring forth children;
Neither do I rear young men,
Nor bring up virgins.”
(B)When the report reaches Egypt,
They also will be in agony at the report of Tyre.

On the great waters
    came the grain of the Shihor;(A)
the harvest of the Nile[a](B) was the revenue of Tyre,(C)
    and she became the marketplace of the nations.

Be ashamed, Sidon,(D) and you fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;(E)
    I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”
When word comes to Egypt,
    they will be in anguish(F) at the report from Tyre.(G)
