Ezekiel 27:20-30

20 Dadan institores tui in tapetibus ad sedendum

21 Arabia et universi principes Cedar ipsi negotiatores manus tuae cum agnis et arietibus et hedis venerunt ad te negotiatores tui

22 venditores Saba et Reema ipsi negotiatores tui cum universis primis aromatibus et lapide pretioso et auro quod proposuerunt in mercatu tuo

23 Aran et Chenne et Eden negotiatores Saba Assur Chelmad venditores tui

24 ipsi negotiatores tui multifariam involucris hyacinthi et polymitorum gazarumque pretiosarum quae obvolutae et adstrictae erant funibus cedros quoque habebant in negotiationibus tuis

25 naves maris principes tuae in negotiatione tua et repleta es et glorificata nimis in corde maris

26 in aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris

27 divitiae tuae et thesauri tui et multiplex instrumentum tuum nautae tui et gubernatores tui qui tenebant supellectilem tuam et populo tuo praeerant viri quoque bellatores tui qui erant in te cum universa multitudine tua quae est in medio tui cadent in corde maris in die ruinae tuae

28 a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes

29 et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt

30 et heiulabunt super te voce magna et clamabunt amare et superiacient pulverem capitibus suis et cinere conspergentur
