OET (OET-LV) Be_ashamed Oh_Tsīdōn/(Sidon) if/because the_sea it_has_said the_stronghold_of the_sea to_say not I_have_been_in_labour and_not I_have_given_birth and_not I_have_brought_up young_men I_have_raised young_women.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
(Occurrence 0) for the sea has spoken, the mighty one of the sea … nor brought up young women
(Some words not found in UHB: ashamed Tsīdōn/(Sidon) that/for/because/then/when he/it_had_said sea fortress_of the=sea to=say not laboured and=not given_birth and=not reared young_men brought_up young_women )
This could mean: (1) Yahweh describes the city of Tyre as a mother who speaks about the people who live in the city as her children, or (2) Yahweh is describing the Mediterranean Sea as speaking. The people of Tyre considered the sea their god and father. In either meaning the speaker mourns because its children are destroyed.
23:4 Part of the great port city of Tyre was on an island. The island city was a fortress of the sea, but it fell in 332 BC.
• I am childless; I have no sons or daughters: This metaphor was a judgment on Tyre’s colonial ports around the Mediterranean Sea. In the ancient world, to reach old age without having children was considered a terrible fate (see 49:21; 54:1).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
