I have not raised young men or brought up young women.” 5When the report reaches Egypt, they will writhe in agony over the news of Tyre. 6Cross over to Tarshish; wail, O inhabitants of the coastland! 7Is this your jubilant city, whose origin is from antiquity, whose feet have taken her to settle far away?
