5 When the news reaches Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.

7 Is this your exciting city, that was founded long ago, whose feet carried her to settle in far-off lands?
8 Who has planned this against Tyre, that bestower of crowns, whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the most renowned on earth?
