“The princes of the north
Are there,
All of them.
All the Sidonians,
Have gone down
In shame
With the slain.
They caused terror
With their might.
They lie uncircumcised
With those
Who were killed
By the sword.
They bear
Their shame
With those
Who go down
To the pit.”
As with the people of the south, so too the princes of the north are there in the pit. This includes the Sidonians from the coastal city of Sidon, north of Israel in the Lebanon area. They have all gone down in shame with the slain. They had caused terror with their might. Now they lie uncircumcised with those killed by the sword. They bear the same shame with the others in the pit.
