Ezekiel 27

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD's word came to me:

2 You, human one, sing a lament for Tyre.

3 Say this about Tyre, who sits enthroned at the entrance to the sea, the people's agent for trade throughout the coastlands. The LORD God proclaims: Tyre, you say, "I'm perfectly beautiful!"

4 But your territory is in the depths of the sea, and it's your builders who made you beautiful.

5 For you they made your deck of cypress from Senir. To make your mast, they took cedar from Lebanon.

6 For your oars, they used the oaks of Bashan. They made your hull, inlaid with ivory, of boxwood from the coasts of Cyprus.

7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail; it became your emblem. Your awning was made of blue and purple cloth from the coasts of Elishah.

8 The princes of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your own wise men were in you as your helmsmen.

9 The elders and wise men of Gebal were in you, patching up your leaks. Every seagoing ship and its sailors came to do business with you.

10 Paras, Lud, and Put were the warriors in your army. By hanging their shields and helmets on you, they made you radiant.

11 The men of Arvad and Helech were stationed on your walls all around; the men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their weapons on your walls all around. They were the ones who completed your beauty.

12 Tarshish was your procurer of great wealth. For your wares, they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead.

13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your agents in human trafficking. They gave you bronze vessels for these wares of yours.

14 Beth-togarmah traded horses, warhorses, and mules for your wares.

15 Islanders from Rhodes were your agents. By contract they procured ebony and ivory for you from many coastlands.

16 Aram was your agent for many products. They traded turquoise, purple cloth, colorful brocades, linen, coral, and rubies for your wares.

17 Judah and the land of Israel were your agents, trading the finest wheat, millet, honey, oil, and balm for your wares.

18 For many of your finished products, Damascus traded out of its great wealth the wine of Helbon and white wool.

19 Vedan and Javan from the region of Uzal traded with you. They exchanged wrought iron, cinnamon, and spices for your wares.

20 Dedan was your agent for saddle blankets.

21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar traded for you. They procured lambs, rams, and goats for you.

22 They were your agents in Sheba and Raamah. For your wares they exchanged the finest spices, every kind of precious stone, and gold.

23 Haran, Canneh, and Eden were your agents, and also Assyria and Chilmad.

24 They procured fine finished goods for you, garments of purple and brocade, and plush carpets rolled up and securely tied with ropes, among your acquisitions.

25 The ships of Tarshish carried your goods. You were filled to capacity and heavily laden in the middle of the sea.

26 Your oarsmen brought you out onto the high seas; an east wind sank you into the sea's depths.

27 Your goods, your wares, your wealth, your sailors, your helmsmen, those patching your leaks, your merchants, all your warriors in you, and all the company that is with you— they also sank into the sea's depth on the day of your demise.

28 At your helmsmen's cries for help, the troubled waters seethe.

29 Those entrusted with the oars desert their posts. All sailors and helmsmen seek footing on the shore.

30 Loudly they cry, bitterly they wail, and they put dust on their heads and cover themselves with ashes.

31 They cut off all their hair and put on mourning clothes. In despair they weep for you, and bitterly perform the mourning rites.

32 In their lamentation they raise a lament for you; they sing lamentions over you: "Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?"

33 When your wares came out from the seas, you satisfied many people. Your abundant wealth and merchandise enriched the kings of the earth.

34 Now you are shattered by the seas; your cargoes, as well as everyone in your company, are sunk into the water's depths.

35 Now the inhabitants of the coastlands shudder on account of you. And as for their kings, their hair stands on end; their faces betray their horror.

36 The merchants for the peoples hiss because of you. You have become a terror; from now on you are nothing.

English Standard Version ESV

1 The word of the LORD came to me:

2 "Now you, son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre,

3 and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord GOD: "O Tyre, you have said, 'I am perfect in beauty.'

4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders made perfect your beauty.

5 They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6 Of oaks of Bashan they made your oars; they made your deck of pines from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.

7 Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail, serving as your banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you; they were your pilots.

9 The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were in you, caulking your seams; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to barter for your wares.

10 "Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.

11 Men of Arvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made perfect your beauty.

12 "Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares.

13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.

14 From Beth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.

15 The men of Dedan traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony.

16 Syria did business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and ruby.

17 Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm.

18 Damascus did business with you for your abundant goods, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and wool of Sahar

19 and casks of wine from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were bartered for your merchandise.

20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.

21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored dealers in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you.

22 The traders of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; they exchanged for your wares the best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold.

23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.

24 In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure.

25 The ships of Tarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden in the heart of the seas.

26 "Your rowers have brought you out into the high seas. The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas.

27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners and your pilots, your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, with all your crew that is in your midst, sink into the heart of the seas on the day of your fall.

28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside shakes,

29 and down from their ships come all who handle the oar. The mariners and all the pilots of the sea stand on the land

30 and shout aloud over you and cry out bitterly. They cast dust on their heads and wallow in ashes;

31 they make themselves bald for you and put sackcloth on their waist, and they weep over you in bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.

32 In their wailing they raise a lamentation for you and lament over you: 'Who is like Tyre, like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?

33 When your wares came from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your abundant wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth.

34 Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your crew in your midst have sunk with you.

35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled at you, and the hair of their kings bristles with horror; their faces are convulsed.

36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.'"
