1The LORD ’s word came again to me , saying ,
2“You , son of man , take up a lamentation over Tyre ;
3and tell Tyre , ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea , who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord GOD says :
“You , Tyre , have said,
‘I am perfect in beauty .’
4Your borders are in the heart of the seas .
Your builders have perfected your beauty .
5They have made all your planks of cypress trees from Senir .
They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you .
6They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan .
They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in cypress wood from the islands of Kittim .
7Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt ,
that it might be to you for a banner .
Blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning .
8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers .
Your wise men , Tyre , were in you .
They were your pilots .
9The old men of Gebal
and its wise men were your repairers of ship seams in you .
All the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
to deal in your merchandise .
10“‘“Persia , Lud , and Put were in your army ,
your men of war .
They hung the shield and helmet in you .
They showed your beauty .
11The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around ,
and valiant men were in your towers .
They hung their shields on your walls all around .
They have perfected your beauty .
12“‘“Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches . They traded for your wares with silver , iron , tin, and lead .
13“‘“Javan , Tubal , and Meshech were your traders . They traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze for your merchandise .
14“‘“They of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses , war horses , and mules .
15“‘“The men of Dedan traded with you . Many islands were the market of your hand . They brought you horns of ivory and ebony in exchange.
16“‘“Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks. They traded for your wares with emeralds , purple, embroidered work , fine linen, coral , and rubies .
17“‘“Judah and Eretz-Israel were your traders . They traded wheat of Minnith , confections, honey , oil , and balm for your merchandise .
18“‘“Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches , with the wine of Helbon , and white wool .

20“‘“Dedan was your merchant in precious saddle blankets for riding .
21“‘“Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favorite dealers in lambs , rams , and goats . In these , they were your merchants .
22“‘“The traders of Sheba and Raamah were your traders . They traded for your wares with the best of all spices , all precious stones, and gold .
23“‘“Haran , Canneh , Eden , the traders of Sheba , Asshur and Chilmad , were your traders .
24These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work , and in cedar chests of rich clothing bound with cords , among your merchandise .
25“‘“The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise .
You were replenished
and made very glorious in the heart of the seas .
26Your rowers have brought you into great waters .
The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas .
27Your riches , your wares , your merchandise ,
your mariners , your pilots , your repairers of ship seams,
the dealers in your merchandise ,
and all your men of war who are in you ,
with all your company which is among you ,
will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin .
28At the sound of the cry of your pilots ,
the pasture lands will shake .
29All who handle the oars ,
the mariners and all the pilots of the sea ,
will come down from their ships.
They will stand on the land,
30and will cause their voice to be heard over you ,
and will cry bitterly .
They will cast up dust on their heads .
They will wallow in the ashes .
31They will make themselves bald for you ,
and clothe themselves with sackcloth .
They will weep for you in bitterness of soul ,
with bitter mourning .
32In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you ,
and lament over you , saying,
‘Who is there like Tyre ,
like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea ?’
33When your wares came from the seas ,
you filled many peoples .
You enriched the kings of the earth
with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise .
34In the time that you were broken by the seas ,
in the depths of the waters ,
your merchandise and all your company fell within you .
35All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you ,
and their kings are horribly afraid .
They are troubled in their face .
36The merchants among the peoples hiss at you .
You have come to a terrible end,
and you will be no more .”’”
