# Chapter 27
|
||
1 The word of the Lord came to me:
|
||
2 “Now, son of man, lament for Tyre.
|
||
3 Say to Tyre, who is situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands, ‘This is what the Lord God says:
|
||
Tyre, you declared,
|
||
“I am perfect in beauty.”
|
||
4 Your realm was in the heart of the sea;
|
||
your builders perfected your beauty.
|
||
5 They constructed all your planking
|
||
with pine trees from Senir.
|
||
They took a cedar from Lebanon
|
||
to make a mast for you.
|
||
6 They made your oars of oaks from Bashan.
|
||
They made your deck of cypress wood
|
||
from the coasts of Cyprus,
|
||
inlaid with ivory.
|
||
7 Your sail was made of
|
||
fine embroidered linen from Egypt,
|
||
and served as your banner.
|
||
Your awning was of blue and purple fabric
|
||
from the coasts of Elishah.
|
||
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
|
||
were your rowers.
|
||
Your wise men were within you, Tyre;
|
||
they were your captains.
|
||
9 The elders of Gebal and its wise men
|
||
were within you, repairing your leaks.
|
||
“‘All the ships of the sea and their sailors
|
||
came to you to barter for your goods.
|
||
10 Men of Persia, Lud, and Put
|
||
were in your army, serving as your warriors.
|
||
They hung shields and helmets in you;
|
||
they gave you splendor.
|
||
11 Men of Arvad and Helech
|
||
were stationed on your walls all around,
|
||
and Gammadites were in your towers.
|
||
They hung their shields all around your walls;
|
||
they perfected your beauty.
|
||
12 “‘Tarshish was your trading partner because of your abundant wealth of every kind. They exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise.
|
||
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants. They exchanged slaves and bronze utensils for your goods.
|
||
14 Those from Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise.
|
||
15 Men of Dedan were also your merchants; many coasts and islands were your regular markets. They brought back ivory tusks and ebony as your payment.
|
||
16 Aram was your trading partner because of your numerous products. They exchanged turquoise, purple and embroidered cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your merchandise.
|
||
17 Judah and the land of Israel were your merchants. They exchanged wheat from Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm, for your goods.
|
||
18 Damascus was also your trading partner because of your numerous products and your abundant wealth of every kind, trading in wine from Helbon and white wool.
|
||
19 Vedan and Javan from Uzal dealt in your merchandise; wrought iron, cassia, and aromatic cane were exchanged for your goods.
|
||
20 Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.
|
||
21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats.
|
||
22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you. For your merchandise they exchanged the best of all spices and all kinds of precious stones as well as gold.
|
||
23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.
|
||
24 They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.
|
||
25 Ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your goods.
|
||
“‘So you became full and heavily loaded
|
||
in the heart of the sea.
|
||
26 Your rowers have brought you
|
||
onto the high seas,
|
||
but the east wind has wrecked you
|
||
in the heart of the sea.
|
||
27 Your wealth, merchandise, and goods,
|
||
your sailors and captains,
|
||
those who repair your leaks,
|
||
those who barter for your goods,
|
||
and all the warriors on board,
|
||
with all the other people within you,
|
||
sink into the heart of the sea
|
||
on the day of your downfall.
|
||
28 “‘The countryside shakes
|
||
at the sound of your sailors’ cries.
|
||
29 All the oarsmen
|
||
disembark from their ships.
|
||
The sailors and all the captains of the sea
|
||
stand on the shore.
|
||
30 Because of you, they raise their voices
|
||
and cry out bitterly.
|
||
They throw dust on their heads;
|
||
they roll in ashes.
|
||
31 They shave their heads because of you
|
||
and wrap themselves in sackcloth.
|
||
They weep over you
|
||
with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
|
||
32 “‘In their wailing they lament for you,
|
||
mourning over you:
|
||
“Who was like Tyre,
|
||
silenced in the middle of the sea?
|
||
33 When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas,
|
||
you satisfied many peoples.
|
||
You enriched the kings of the earth
|
||
with your abundant wealth and goods.
|
||
34 Now you are wrecked by the sea
|
||
in the depths of the waters;
|
||
your goods and the people within you
|
||
have gone down.
|
||
35 All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands
|
||
are appalled at you.
|
||
Their kings shudder with fear;
|
||
their faces are contorted.
|
||
36 Those who trade among the peoples
|
||
scoff at you;
|
||
you have become an object of horror
|
||
and will never exist again.”’” |
