3 y di a Tiro: Oh tú que estás sentada a la entrada del mar y comerciabas con los pueblos de muchas costas, así dice Yahvé, el Señor:
and you shall say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus says the Lord to Sor; You have said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.
