¹² He said, “·Sidon [^LVirgin daughter Sidon], you will not ·rejoice [celebrate] any longer,
    because you are ·destroyed [crushed; oppressed].
·Even if you cross the sea [^LArise, cross over] to ·Cyprus [^LKittim],
    [but] you will not find a place to rest.”
¹³ Look at the land of the ·Babylonians [Chaldeans];
    ·it is not a country now [this people is no more].
Assyria has made it a place for ·wild [desert] animals.
    Assyria built ·towers to attack it [siege towers];
the soldiers ·took all the treasures from its cities [stripped bare/tore down its fortresses/palaces],
    and they turned it into ruins.
¹⁴ ·So be sad [Wail], you ·trading ships [^Lships of Tarshish; v. 1; 2:16],
    because your ·strong city [fortress; stronghold] is destroyed.
