1 The word of the LORD [Yahweh] came again to me, saying,
2 Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
3 And say to Tyre, O you that are situated at the entry of the sea, [which are] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus says the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, you have said, I [am] of perfect beauty.
4 Your borders [are] in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They have made all your [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you.
6 [Of] the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars; the company of the Ashurites have made your benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of Chittim.
7 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which you spread forth to be your sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered you.
8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were your mariners: your wise [men], O Tyrus, [that] were in you, were your pilots.
9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise [men] of it were in you your calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to occupy your merchandise.
10 They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in your army, your men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your comeliness.
11 The men of Arvad with your army [were] upon your walls round about, and the Gammadims were in your towers: they hanged their shields upon your walls round about; they have made your beauty perfect.
12 Tarshish [was] your merchant by reason of the multitude of all [kind of] riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in your fairs.
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] your merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in your market.
14 They of the house of Togarmah traded in your fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
15 The men of Dedan [were] your merchants; many isles [were] the merchandise of your hand: they brought you [for] a present horns of ivory and ebony.
16 Syria [was] your merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of your making: they occupied in your fairs with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] your merchants: they traded in your market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
18 Damascus [was] your merchant in the multitude of the wares of your making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19 Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in your fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in your market.
20 Dedan [was] your merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with you in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these [were they] your merchants.
22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were] your merchants: they occupied in your fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were] your merchants.
24 These [were] your merchants in all sorts [of things], in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among your merchandise.
25 The ships of Tarshish sang of you in your market: and you were replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas.
27 Your riches, and your fairs, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your calkers, and the occupiers of your merchandise, and all your men of war, that [are] in you, and in all your company which [is] in the midst of you, will fall into the midst of the seas in the day of your ruin.
28 The suburbs will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of the sea, will come down from their ships, they will stand upon the land;
30 And will cause their voice to be heard against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cast up dust upon their heads, they will wallow themselves in the ashes:
31 And they will make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they will weep for you with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many people; you enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
34 In the time [when] you will be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you will fall.
35 All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you, and their kings will be sore afraid, they will be troubled in [their] countenance.
36 The merchants among the people will hiss at you; you will be a terror, and never [will be] any more.
