Chapter 27

¹The word of the LORD came to me: ²“Son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre, ³and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many islands, thus says the Lord GOD: “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’ ⁴Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty. ⁵They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. ⁶Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; they made your deck of pines from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory. ⁷Fine linen with embroidered designs from Egypt was your sail, serving as your ensign; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning. ⁸The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you, they were your pilots. ⁹The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were in you, repairing your seams; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you, to traffic in your merchandise. ¹⁰“Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war; they hung shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor. ¹¹The men of Arvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gammad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty. ¹²“Tarshish was your merchant because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares. ¹³Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. ¹⁴From Beth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares. ¹⁵The men of Dedan were your traders; many coastal lands were your own special markets, they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony. ¹⁶Syria was your merchant because of your abundant produce; they exchanged for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and agate. ¹⁷Judah and the land of Israel were your traders; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, pannag, honey, oil, and balm. ¹⁸Damascus was your merchant because of your abundant produce, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and white wool ¹⁹and wine from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were exchanged for your merchandise. ²⁰Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. ²¹Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored dealers in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they trafficked with you. ²²The traders of Sheba and Raamah were your traders; they exchanged for your wares the best of all kinds of spices, and all kinds of precious stones, and gold. ²³Haran, Canneh, Eden, Asshur, and Chilmad were your traders. ²⁴These were your traders in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, richly bound and made of cedar, your merchandise. ²⁵The ships of Tarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and very glorious in the heart of the seas. ²⁶Your rowers have brought you out into the high seas. The east wind has shattered you in the heart of the seas. ²⁷Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your repairers of seams, your dealers in merchandise, and all your men of war in you, with all your company that is in your midst, sink into the heart of the seas on the day of your ruin. ²⁸At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside will shake. ²⁹All who handle the oar, the mariners and all the pilots of the sea, will come down from their ships; they will stand on the land, ³⁰and shout aloud over you and cry out bitterly. They will cast dust on their heads and wallow in ashes; ³¹they will make themselves bald for you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep over you in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning. ³²In their wailing they will raise a lamentation for you and lament over you: ‘Who is like Tyre, like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?’ ³³When your wares came from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your great wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth. ³⁴Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk with you. ³⁵All the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings are horribly afraid; their faces are convulsed. ³⁶The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.”
