Ezekiel 27

¹ And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying: ² "And you, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and you have said to Tyre: ³ O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Yahweh: O Tyre, you - you have said: I [am] the perfection of beauty. ⁴ In the heart of the seas [are] your borders, Your builders have perfected your beauty. ⁵ Of firs of Senir they have built to you all your double-boarded ships, Of cedars of Lebanon they have taken to make a mast for you, ⁶ Of oaks of Bashan they made your oars, Your bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim. ⁷ Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt has been your sail, To be to you for an ensign, Of blue and purple from isles of Elishah has been your covering. ⁸ Inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad have been rowers to you, Your wise men, O Tyre, have been in you, They [are] your pilots. ⁹ Elders of Gebal and its wise men have been in you, Strengthening your breach; All ships of the sea and their mariners, Have been in you, to trade [with] your merchandise. ¹⁰ Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in your forces - your men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in you, They - they have given out your honor. ¹¹ The sons of Arvad, and your force, [Are] on your walls round about, And short swordsmen in your towers have been, Their shields they have hung up on your walls round about, They - they have perfected your beauty. ¹² Tarshish [is] your merchant, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given out your remnants. ¹³ Javan, Tubal, and Meshech - they [are] your merchants, For persons of men, and vessels of brass, They have given out your merchandise. ¹⁴ They of the house of Togarmah, [For] horses, and riding steeds, and mules, They have given out your remnants. ¹⁵ Sons of Dedan [are] your merchants, Many isles [are] the mart of your hand, Horns of ivory and ebony they sent back your reward. ¹⁶ Aram [is] your merchant, Because of the abundance of your works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and coral, and agate, They have given out your remnants. ¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel - they [are] your merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out your merchandise. ¹⁸ Damascus [is] your merchant, For the abundance of your works, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For wine of Helbon, and white wool. ¹⁹ Vedan and Javan go about with your remnants, They have given shining iron, cassia, and cane, In your merchandise it has been. ²⁰ Dedan [is] your merchant, For clothes of freedom for riding. ²¹ Arabia, and all princes of Kedar, They [are] the traders of your hand, For lambs, and rams, and he-goats, In these your merchants. ²² Merchants of Sheba and Raamah - they [are] your merchants, For the chief of all spices, And for every precious stone, and gold, They have given out your remnants. ²³ Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, merchants of Sheba, Asshur -Chilmad - [are] your merchants, ²⁴ They [are] your merchants for perfect things, For wrappings of blue, and embroidery, And for treasuries of rich apparel, With cords bound and girded, for your merchandise, ²⁵ Ships of Tarshish [are] your double walls of your merchandise, And you are filled and honored greatly, In the heart of the seas. ²⁶ Into great waters have they brought you, Those rowing you, The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas. ²⁷ Your wealth and your remnants, Your merchandise, your mariners, And your pilots, strengtheners of your breach, And the traders of your merchandise, And all your men of war, who [are] in you, And in all your assembly that [is] in your midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your fall, ²⁸ At the voice of the cry of your pilots shake do the suburbs. ²⁹ And come down from their ships have all handling an oar, Mariners, all the pilots of the sea, on the land they stand, ³⁰ And have sounded for you with their voice, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, In ashes they do roll themselves. ³¹ And they have made for you baldness, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for you, In bitterness of soul - a bitter mourning. ³² And lifted up for you have their sons a lamentation, And they have lamented over you, who [is] as Tyre? As the cut-off one in the midst of the sea? ³³ With the outgoing of your remnants from the seas, You have filled many peoples, With the abundance of your riches, and your merchandise, You have made rich things of earth. ³⁴ The time of [your] being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Your merchandise and all your assembly in your midst have fallen. ³⁵ All inhabitants of the isles have been astonished at you, And their kings have been sore afraid, They have been troubled in countenance. ³⁶ Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for you, Wastes you have been, and you are not - to the eon!"
