# Chapter 27
|
||
1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
|
||
2 “Now, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
|
||
3 and say to Tyre, ‘You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“O Tyre, you have said,
|
||
‘I am perfect in beauty.’
|
||
4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
|
||
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
|
||
5 They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir;
|
||
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
|
||
6 Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars;
|
||
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
|
||
With ivory from the coasts of Cyprus.
|
||
7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
|
||
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.
|
||
8 “Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
|
||
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
|
||
They became your pilots.
|
||
9 Elders of Gebal and its wise men
|
||
Were in you to caulk your seams;
|
||
All the ships of the sea
|
||
And their oarsmen were in you
|
||
To market your merchandise.
|
||
10 “Those from Persia, Lydia, and Libya
|
||
Were in your army as men of war;
|
||
They hung shield and helmet in you;
|
||
They gave splendor to you.
|
||
11 Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
|
||
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
|
||
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
|
||
They made your beauty perfect.
|
||
12 “Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.
|
||
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
|
||
14 Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules.
|
||
15 The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment.
|
||
16 Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies.
|
||
17 Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and balm.
|
||
18 Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool.
|
||
19 Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise.
|
||
20 Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.
|
||
21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your regular merchants. They traded with you in lambs, rams, and goats.
|
||
22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were your merchants. They traded for your wares the choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold.
|
||
23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad were your merchants.
|
||
24 These were your merchants in choice items—in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace.
|
||
25 “The ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise.
|
||
You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas.
|
||
26 Your oarsmen brought you into many waters,
|
||
But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.
|
||
27 “Your riches, wares, and merchandise,
|
||
Your mariners and pilots,
|
||
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
|
||
All your men of war who are in you,
|
||
And the entire company which is in your midst,
|
||
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
|
||
28 The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
|
||
29 “All who handle the oar,
|
||
The mariners,
|
||
All the pilots of the sea
|
||
Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore.
|
||
30 They will make their voice heard because of you;
|
||
They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads;
|
||
They will roll about in ashes;
|
||
31 They will shave themselves completely bald because of you,
|
||
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
|
||
And weep for you
|
||
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
|
||
32 In their wailing for you
|
||
They will take up a lamentation,
|
||
And lament for you:
|
||
‘What city is like Tyre,
|
||
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?
|
||
33 ‘When your wares went out by sea,
|
||
You satisfied many people;
|
||
You enriched the kings of the earth
|
||
With your many luxury goods and your merchandise.
|
||
34 But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;
|
||
Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.
|
||
35 All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;
|
||
Their kings will be greatly afraid,
|
||
And their countenance will be troubled.
|
||
36 The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you;
|
||
You will become a horror, and be no more forever.’ ” ’ ” |
