1 The Lord said to me,

2 "Mortal man, sing a funeral song for Tyre,

3 that city which stands at the edge of the sea and does business with the people living on every seacoast. Tell her what the Sovereign Lord is saying: "Tyre, you boasted of your perfect beauty.

4 Your home is the sea. Your builders made you like a beautiful ship;

5 They used fir trees from Mount Hermon for timber And a cedar from Lebanon for your mast.

6 They took oak trees from Bashan to make oars; They made your deck out of pine from Cyprus And inlaid it with ivory.

7 Your sails were made of linen, Embroidered linen from Egypt, Easily recognized from afar. Your awnings were made of finest cloth, Of purple from the island of Cyprus.

8 Your oarsmen were from the cities of Sidon and Arvad. Your own skillful men were the sailors.

9 The ship's carpenters Were well-trained men from Byblos. Sailors from every seagoing ship Did business in your shops.

25 Your merchandise was carried in fleets of the largest cargo ships. "You were like a ship at sea Loaded with heavy cargo.

26 When your oarsmen brought you out to sea, An east wind wrecked you far from land.

27 All your wealth of merchandise, All the sailors in your crew, Your ship's carpenters and your merchants, Every soldier on board the ship - All, all were lost at sea When your ship was wrecked.

28 The shouts of the drowning sailors Echoed on the shore.

29 "Every ship is now deserted, And every sailor has gone ashore.

30 They all mourn bitterly for you, Throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes.

31 They shave their heads for you And dress themselves in sackcloth. Their hearts are bitter as they weep.

32 They chant a funeral song for you: "Who can be compared to Tyre, To Tyre now silent in the sea?

33 When your merchandise went overseas, You filled the needs of every nation. Kings were made rich By the wealth of your goods.

34 Now you are wrecked in the sea; You have sunk to the ocean depths. Your goods and all who worked for you Have vanished with you in the sea.'

35 "Everyone who lives along the coast is shocked at your fate. Even their kings are terrified, and fear is written on their faces.

36 You are gone, gone forever, and merchants all over the world are terrified, afraid that they will share your fate."

6 They 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.

7 Your 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.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your wise men, Tyre, were in you. They were your pilots.

9 The 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.

11 The 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.

25 “‘“The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise. You were replenished and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.

26 Your rowers have brought you into great waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.

27 Your 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.

28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots, the pasture lands will shake.

29 All 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,

30 and 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.

31 They will make themselves bald for you, and clothe themselves with sackcloth. They will weep for you in bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.

32 In 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?’

33 When 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.

34 In the time that you were broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell within you.

35 All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.

36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.”’”
