15 apart from the men of travel and the profit from the traders and all the kings+ of the Arabs+ and the governors of the land.

2 Be silent, YOU inhabitants of the coastland.* The merchants from Siʹdon,+ the ones crossing over the sea—they have filled you.

14 This is what Jehovah has said: “The unpaid laborers of Egypt+ and the merchants of E·thi·oʹpi·a* and the Sa·beʹans,+ tall men,*+ will themselves come over even to you,* and yours they will become.+ Behind you they will walk; in fetters+ they will come over, and to you they will bow down.+ To you they will pray, [saying,] ‘Indeed God is in union with you,*+ and there is no one else; there is no [other] God.’”*+
