thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have
replenished.

thou hast made of a city an
heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

heap of
rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
