Be still, you inhabitants of the coastland,
You merchants of Sidon,
[a]Whom those who cross the sea have filled.
And on great waters the grain of Shihor,
The harvest of [b]the River, is her revenue;
And (A)she is a marketplace for the nations.

Be ashamed, O Sidon;
For the sea has spoken,
The strength of the sea, saying,
“I do not labor, nor bring forth children;
Neither do I rear young men,
Nor bring up virgins.”
