A Message about Phoenicia

23 ^(A)This is a message about Tyre.

Howl with grief, you sailors out on the ocean! Your home port of Tyre has been destroyed; its houses and its harbor are in ruins. As your ships return from Cyprus, you learn the news. ² Wail, you merchants of Sidon! You sent agents ³ across the sea to buy and sell the grain that grew in Egypt and to do business with all the nations.
