Mourn in silence, you people of the coast and you merchants of Sidon. Your traders crossed the sea,
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”

“O beautiful Babylon, sit now in darkness and silence. Never again will you be known as the queen of kingdoms.
“Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign Lord: “In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.
“Son of man, turn and face the city of Sidon and prophesy against it.
But the Lord is in his holy Temple. Let all the earth be silent before him.”
