The harvest of the Nile River was the revenue of Tyre, and she became the marketplace of the nations. read more.
Be ashamed, O Sidon, and you, O fortress of the sea, for the sea has spoken: I have neither been in labor nor given birth. I have neither reared sons nor brought up daughters. When word arrives at Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre. Crossover to Tarshish and cry you people of the island. Is this your exultant city founded in antiquity? Is this the city that sent its people to settle in distant lands? Who planned such a thing against Tyre, the city that produced kings? Its merchants are princes. Its traders are among the honored people of the world. Jehovah of Hosts planned this in order to dishonor all arrogant people and to humiliate all the honored people of the world.

Cry out O ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is destroyed.
