Who has planned this
    against Tyre,
        that bestower of crowns,
whose merchants were princes,[a]
    whose traders were the most renowned on earth?
The Lord of the Heavenly Armies has planned it—
    to neutralize all the hubris of grandeur,[b]
        to discredit all the renowned men of earth.

10 “Cultivate[c] your land like the Nile,
    you daughter of Tarshish;
        for there is no longer a harbor.
