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