And their sons lifted up a lamentation for thee, and they lamented over thee: Who as Tyre, as she desolated in the midst of the sea?

The time thou wert broken from the seas in the depths of the waters, thy traffic and all thy convocation fell in the midst of thee.

The merchants among the peoples hissed at thee; thou wert terrors; and thou not, even forever.
