Ezekiel 27

Lament over Tyre

1

Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

2

"And you, son of man,  atake up a lamentation over Tyre;

3

and say to Tyre,  awho dwells at the  1entrance to the sea,  bmerchant of the peoples to many coastlands, `Thus says the Lord  2GOD, "O Tyre, you have said, `I am perfect in beauty.'

4

"Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.

5

"They have  1made all your planks of fir trees from  aSenir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6

"Of  aoaks from  bBashan they have made your oars; With ivory they have  1inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of  cCyprus.

7

"Your sail was of fine embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your  1distinguishing mark; Your  2awning was  3 ablue and purple from the coastlands of  bElishah.

8

"The inhabitants of Sidon and  aArvad were your rowers; Your  bwise men, O Tyre, were  1aboard; they were your pilots.

9

"The elders of  aGebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.

10

aPersia and  aLud and  aPut were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.

11

"The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the  1Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

12

"Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin and lead they paid for your wares.

13

aJavan,  aTubal and  bMeshech, they were your traders; with the  clives of men and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise.

14

"Those from  aBeth-togarmah gave horses and war horses and mules for your wares.

15

"The sons of  aDedan were your traders. Many coastlands were  1your market;  bivory tusks and ebony they brought as your payment.

16

aAram was your customer because of the abundance of your  1goods; they paid for your wares with  bemeralds, purple,  cembroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies.

17

"Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of  aMinnith,  1cakes, honey, oil and balm they paid for your merchandise.

18

aDamascus was your customer because of the abundance of your  1goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool.

19

"Vedan and Javan paid for your wares  1from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia and  2sweet cane were among your merchandise.

20

aDedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.

21

aArabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were  1your customers for  blambs, rams and goats; for these they were your customers.

22

"The traders of  aSheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your wares with the best of all kinds of  bspices, and with all kinds of precious stones and gold.

23

"Haran, Canneh,  aEden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad traded with you.

24

"They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of  1blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of many colors and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise.

25

"The  aships of Tarshish were  1the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very  2glorious In the heart of the seas.

26

"Your rowers have brought you Into  agreat waters; The  beast wind has broken you In the heart of the seas.

27

"Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise, Your sailors and your pilots, Your repairers of seams, your dealers in merchandise And all your men of war who are in you, With all your company that is in your midst, Will fall into the heart of the seas On the day of your overthrow.

28

"At the sound of the cry of your pilots The pasture lands will  ashake.

29

"All who handle the oar, The  asailors and all the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the land,

30

And they will  amake their voice heard over you And will cry bitterly. They will  bcast dust on their heads, They will  cwallow in ashes.

31

"Also they will make themselves  abald for you And  bgird themselves with sackcloth; And they will  cweep for you in bitterness of soul With bitter mourning.

32

"Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a  alamentation for you And lament over you: `Who is like Tyre, Like her who is silent in the midst of the sea?

33

`When your wares went out from the seas, You satisfied many peoples; With the  aabundance of your wealth and your merchandise You enriched the kings of earth.

34

1Now that you are  abroken by the seas In the depths of the waters, Your  bmerchandise and all your company Have fallen in the midst of you.

35

`All the  ainhabitants of the coastlands Are appalled at you, And their kings are horribly afraid; They are troubled in countenance.

36

`The merchants among the peoples  ahiss at you; You have become  1terrified And you  bwill cease to be forever.' ""'
