5The Egyptians will hear about what has happened to Tyre.

They’ll be very sad and troubled.

6People of the island of Tyre, cry out!

Go across the sea to Tarshish.

7Just look at Tyre.

It’s no longer the old, old city that was known for its wild parties.

It no longer sends its people out

to settle in lands far away.

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.
