1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

2 "Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,

3 and say unto Tyre, `O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, who art a merchant of the people for many isles, thus saith the Lord GOD: "`O Tyre, thou hast said, "I am of perfect beauty."

4 Thy borders are in the midst of the seas; thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

5 They 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 have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Cyprus.

7 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were thy mariners; thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, were thy pilots.

9 The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy caulkers; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to trade for thy merchandise.

10 "`They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war. They hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.

11 The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers. They hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.

12 "`Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.

13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants; they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.

14 Those of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.

15 The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand; they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.

16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making; they traded in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.

17 Judah and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants; they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.

18 Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches, in the wine of Helbon and white wool.

19 Dan also and Javan, going to and fro, traded in thy fairs; bright iron, cassia, and calamus were in thy market.

20 Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.

21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they traded with thee in lambs and rams and goats; in these were they thy merchants.

22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants; they traded in thy 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 thy merchants.

24 These were thy merchants in all sorts of things--in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.

25 The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market, and thou wast replenished and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.

27 Thy riches and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy caulkers, and the traders of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.

28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy 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 thee, 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 thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee and lament over thee, saying, "What city is like Tyre, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?"

33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filled many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.

34 In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.

35 All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid; they shall be troubled in their countenance.

36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.'"

2 "Son of man, sing a funeral song about Tyre.

27 Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, your mariners and your sailors, your caulkers and your merchants, your soldiers and everyone else on board sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked.

28 "'When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled.

29 All the rowers, the sailors, and all the mariners came down from their ships and stood on the shore.

30 They cried loudly and bitterly over you. They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes.

31 They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth. They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning.

32 They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: "Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?"

33 Your merchandise was sent overseas. You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. You made the kings of the earth rich.

34 Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. Your goods and your whole crew sank with you.

35 All those who live on the coasts are horrified because of you. Their kings are terribly afraid. Their faces show their fear.

36 The merchants among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.'"
