10 Overflow through your land like¹ the River,
O daughter of Tarshish;
There is no more¹ strength. ‡

11 He stretched out His hand over the sea,
He shook the kingdoms;
The Lord has given a commandment ^aagainst Canaan
To destroy its strongholds. ‡

13 Behold, the land of the ^aChaldeans,
This people which was not;
Assyria founded it for ^bwild beasts of the desert.
They set up its towers,
They raised up its palaces,
And brought it to ruin. ‡

14 ^aWail, you ships of Tarshish!
For your strength is laid waste.  ‡
