5*Even the Egyptians will be shocked and dismayed when they learn that Tyre has been destroyed.

6*Howl with grief, you people of Phoenicia! Try to escape to Spain! 7*Can this be the joyful city of Tyre, founded so long ago? Is this the city that sent settlers across the sea to establish colonies?

ESVEnglish Standard Version

When the report comes to Egypt,

they will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish;

wail, O inhabitants of the coast!

Is this your exultant city

whose origin is from days of old,

whose feet carried her

to settle far away?

NIVNew International Version (2011)

When word comes to Egypt,

they will be in anguish at the report from Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish;

wail, you people of the island.

Is this your city of revelry,

the old, old city,

whose feet have taken her

to settle in far-off lands?

CSBChristian Standard Bible

When the news reaches Egypt,

they will be in anguish over the news about Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish;

wail, inhabitants of the coastland!

Is this your jubilant city,

whose origin was in ancient times,

whose feet have taken her

to reside far away?

NLTNew Living Translation

When Egypt hears the news about Tyre,

there will be great sorrow.

Send word now to Tarshish!

Wail, you people who live in distant lands!

Is this silent ruin all that is left of your once joyous city?

What a long history was yours!

Think of all the colonists you sent to distant places.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

When the report comes to Egypt,

they will be in anguish at the report about Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish!

Wail, inhabitants of the coast!

Is this your exultant one, her origin from the days of long ago?

Her feet brought her to dwell afar as an alien.

KJV 1900King James Version

As at the report concerning Egypt,

So shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.

Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days?

Her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
