Through the abundance of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned.

The Lord of Hosts planned it, to desecrate all [its] glorious beauty, to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth. Overflow your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer anything to restrain [you]. He stretched out His hand over the sea; He made kingdoms tremble.
