12 He said: You shall rejoice no more,
    O oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.

Arise, pass over to Cyprus;
    there also you shall have no rest.
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans;
    this was a people who was not;
Assyria founded it
    for those who dwell in the wilderness.
They set up their siege towers,
    they stripped its palaces,
    and brought it to ruin.

14 Wail, O ships of Tarshish,
    for your stronghold is laid waste.

12 He said, “No more of your reveling,(A)
    Virgin Daughter(B) Sidon, now crushed!

“Up, cross over to Cyprus;(C)
    even there you will find no rest.”
13 Look at the land of the Babylonians,[a](D)
    this people that is now of no account!
The Assyrians(E) have made it
    a place for desert creatures;(F)
they raised up their siege towers,(G)
    they stripped its fortresses bare
    and turned it into a ruin.(H)

14 Wail, you ships(I) of Tarshish;(J)
    your fortress is destroyed!(K)
