1-2 [To Ezekiel] Son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus; 3} And say unto Tyrus, O you that art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith Enki; O Tyrus, you hast 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 thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made your benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of Chittim. 7} Fine 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.
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] thereof 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 thine army, your men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your comeliness. 11} The men of Arvad with thine 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 thine 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 broidered 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 broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among your merchandise. 25} The ships of Tarshish did sing of you in your market: and you wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. 26} your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind hath 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, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of your ruin. 28} The suburbs shall 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, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; 30} And 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: 31} And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart [and] bitter wailing. 32} And in their wailing they shall 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 filledst many people; you didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise. 34} In the time [when] you shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall. 35} All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in [their] countenance. 36} The merchants among the people shall hiss at you; you [shalt be] a terror, and never shalt be any more.
