1The word of Yehovah came again to me, saying, 2And you, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre; 3and say to Tyre, O you who dwell at the entrance of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many isles, thus says the Lord Yehovah: You, O Tyre, have said, I am perfect in beauty. 4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders have perfected your beauty. 5They have made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6Of the oaks of Bashan they have made your oars; they have made your benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim. 7Of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be an ensign for you; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was your awning. 8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers: your wise men, O Tyre, were in you, they were your pilots. 9The old men of Gebal and its wise men were in you as your caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in your merchandise. 10Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor. 11The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and valorous men were in your towers; they hung their shields on your walls all around; they have perfected your beauty. 12Tarshish was your merchant because of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for your wares. 13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your traders; they traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14Those of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses and war horses and mules. 15The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand: they brought you in exchange tusks of ivory and ebony. 16Syria was your merchant because of the multitude of your handiworks: they traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies. 17Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your traders: they traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 18Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks, because of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for your wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among your merchandise. 20Dedan was your trader in saddlecloths for riding. 21Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of your hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these they were your merchants. 22The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they were your traders; they traded for your wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 23Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were your traders. 24These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of cedar, among your merchandise. 25The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise: and you were replenished, and made very glorious in the heart of the seas. 26Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas. 27Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your caulkers, and the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you, with all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your ruin. 28At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside shall shake. 29And all who handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand on the land, 30and shall cause their voice to be heard over you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust on their heads; they shall wallow in the ashes: 31and they shall make themselves bald for you, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning. 32And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea? 33When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many peoples; you enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise. 34At the time that you were broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell in the midst of you. 35All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance. 36The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
