He has stretched out his hand over the sea.
He has shaken the kingdoms.
The LORD has ordered the destruction of Canaan’s strongholds.
He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon.
Arise, pass over to Kittim.
Even there you will have no rest.”
Behold, the land of the Chaldeans.
This people didn’t exist.
The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness.
They set up their towers.
They overthrew its palaces.
They made it a ruin.
Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
