10 Ships from Tarshish, go back home.
    Cross the sea as if it were a river.
    No one will stop you now.
11 The Lord raised his arm over the sea
    to make the kingdoms angry enough to fight against Tyre.
He commanded Canaan
    to destroy her place of safety.[a]
12 He said, “Daughter Sidon,[b] you have been hurt badly,
    so you will no longer rejoice like a bride.
Go ahead, go to Cyprus[c] for help,
    but you will not find a place to rest there either.”
