6 Pasaos á Tarsis; aullad, moradores de la isla.

7 ¿No era ésta vuestra [ciudad] alegre, su antigüedad de muchos días? Sus pies la llevarán á peregrinar lejos.

8 ¿Quién decretó esto sobre Tiro la coronada, cuyos negociantes eran príncipes, cuyos mercaderes eran los nobles de la tierra?

9 Jehová de los ejércitos lo decretó, para envilecer la soberbia de toda gloria; y para abatir todos los ilustres de la tierra.

10 Pasa cual río de tu tierra, oh hija de Tarsis; porque no tendrás ya más fortaleza.
