The Lord who rules over all planned to do it.
    He wanted to bring down all its pride and glory.
    He wanted to shame those who were honored all over the earth.

10 People of Tarshish, farm your land
    as they do along the Nile River.

He has given a command concerning Phoenicia.
    He has ordered that its forts be destroyed.
