1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2Now, thou son of man, raise up lamentations upon Tyre. 3And say unto Tyre, O thou that dwelleth at the ports of the sea, [who art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus hath the Lord GOD said; O Tyre, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty. 4In the heart of the seas are thy border; thy builders have completed thy beauty. 5They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir; they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. 6[Of] the oaks of Bashan they have made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of the isles of Chittim. 7Of fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was thy curtain, that it might serve to be thy sail; of blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thy pavilion. 8The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise [men], O Tyre, were in thee; they were thy pilots. 9The elders of Gebal and the wise [men] thereof were in thee to repair thy breaches: all the galleys of the sea with their rowers were in thee to negotiate thy business dealings. 10Those of Persia and of Lud and of Africa were in thine army, thy men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in thee; they extolled thy beauty. 11The sons of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they completed thy beauty. 12Tarshish [was] thy market by reason of the multitude of all [thy] riches in silver, iron, tin, and lead; they traded in thy fairs. 13Greece, Tubal, and Meshech, thy merchants, with the soul of men and with vessels of brass; they traded in thy fairs. 14Those of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 15The sons of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [took] merchandise from thy hand: they brought thee [for] a present horns of ivory and peacocks. 16Syria [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they traded in thy fairs with rubies and purple and broidered work and fine linen and coral and pearls. 17Judah, and the land of Israel; they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market with wheat, Minnith and Pannag and honey and oil and balm. 18Damascus [was] thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the abundance of all riches, with wine of Helbon and white wool. 19Dan also and Greece and Mozel traded in thy fairs bright iron, cassia, and calamus. 20Dedan [was] thy merchant in precious cloth for chariots. 21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, merchants of thy strength in lambs and rams and he goats: in these [they were] thy merchants. 22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah; they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy fairs with the chief of all spices and with all precious stones and gold. 23Haran and Canneh and Eden the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Chilmad [were] in thy market. 24These, thy merchants, negotiated with thee in all sorts [of things]: in blue robes and broidered work and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 25The ships of Tarshish, thy squadrons, went forth on thy behalf: and thou wast full, and wast multiplied greatly in the midst of the seas. 26In many waters they overcame thy rowers; the east wind has broken thee in the midst of the seas. 27Thy riches, and thy markets, thy business, thy rowers, and thy pilots, those that repair thy breaches, and the agents of thy business, and all thy men of war, that [are] in thee, with all thy company which [is] in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. 28The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 29And all that handle the oar, the rowers, [and] 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 upon thee and shall cry bitterly and shall cast up dust upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in the ashes. 31And they shall pull out their hair for thee and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul [and] bitter wailings. 32And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee and lament over thee, [saying], Who [is] like Tyre, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? 33When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy contracts. 34In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy commerce and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. 35All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid; they shall be troubled in [their] countenance. 36The merchants among the peoples shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror and never [shalt be] any more.:
