⁴ Be ashamed, Sidon,^(A) and you fortress of the sea,
    for the sea has spoken:
“I have neither been in labor nor given birth;^(B)
    I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters.”

¹⁶ But you are our Father,^(A)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge^(B) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer^(C) from of old is your name.
