Legacy Standard Bible
11 He has (A)stretched His hand out (B)over the sea;
He has (C)made the kingdoms tremble;
Yahweh has given a command concerning Canaan to (D)demolish its strong defenses.
12 So He said, “(E)You shall exult no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to [a](F)Cyprus; even there you will find no rest.”
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people which was not; (G)Assyria established it for (H)desert creatures—they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, (I)they made it a ruin.
