Wail, ships of Tarshish,^(C)
for your haven has been destroyed.
Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.^[a](D)

⁶ Cross over to Tarshish;
wail, inhabitants of the coastland!

¹⁰ Overflow^[a] your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish;
there is no longer anything to restrain you.^[b]

⁹ Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish^(A)
and gold from Uphaz.^[a](B)
The work of a craftsman
and of a goldsmith’s hands
is clothed in blue and purple,
all the work of skilled artisans.
