The End of Tyre's Glory
Chapter 27
-
Then this message came to me from the LORD:
-
"Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre,
-
that mighty gateway to the sea, the trading center of the world. Give Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD: "You boasted, O Tyre, 'My beauty is perfect!'
-
You extended your boundaries into the sea. Your builders made your beauty perfect.
-
You were like a great ship built of the finest cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
-
They carved your oars from the oaks of Bashan. Your deck of pine from the coasts of Cyprus was inlaid with ivory.
-
Your sails were made of Egypt's finest linen, and they flew as a banner above you. You stood beneath blue and purple awnings made bright with dyes from the coasts of Elishah.
-
Your oarsmen came from Sidon and Arvad; your helmsmen were skilled men from Tyre itself.
-
Wise old craftsmen from Gebal did the caulking. Ships from every land came with goods to barter for your trade.
-
"Men from distant Persia, Lydia, and Libya served in your great army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls, giving you great honor.
-
Men from Arvad and Helech stood on your walls. Your towers were manned by men from Gammad. Their shields hung on your walls, completing your beauty.
-
"Tarshish sent merchants to buy your wares in exchange for silver, iron, tin, and lead.
-
Merchants from Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and articles of bronze to trade with you.
-
"From Beth-togarmah came riding horses, chariot horses, and mules, all in exchange for your goods.
-
Merchants came to you from Dedan. Numerous coastlands were your captive markets; they brought payment in ivory tusks and ebony wood.
-
"Syria sent merchants to buy your rich variety of goods. They traded turquoise, purple dyes, embroidery, fine linen, and jewelry of coral and rubies.
-
Judah and Israel traded for your wares, offering wheat from Minnith, figs, honey, olive oil, and balm.
-
"Damascus sent merchants to buy your rich variety of goods, bringing wine from Helbon and white wool from Zahar.
-
Greeks from Uzal came to trade for your merchandise. Wrought iron, cassia, and fragrant calamus were bartered for your wares.
-
"Dedan sent merchants to trade their expensive saddle blankets with you.
-
The Arabians and the princes of Kedar sent merchants to trade lambs and rams and male goats in exchange for your goods.
-
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah came with all kinds of spices, jewels, and gold in exchange for your wares.
-
"Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur, and Kilmad came with their merchandise, too.
-
They brought choice fabrics to trade--blue cloth, embroidery, and multicolored carpets rolled up and bound with cords.
-
The ships of Tarshish were your ocean caravans. Your island warehouse was filled to the brim!The Destruction of Tyre
-
"But look! Your oarsmen have taken you into stormy seas! A mighty eastern gale has wrecked you in the heart of the sea!
-
Everything is lost-- your riches and wares, your sailors and pilots, your ship builders, merchants, and warriors. On the day of your ruin, everyone on board sinks into the depths of the sea.
-
Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror.
-
All the oarsmen abandon their ships; the sailors and pilots stand on the shore.
-
They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
-
They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning.
-
As they wail and mourn over you, they sing this sad funeral song: 'Was there ever such a city as Tyre, now silent at the bottom of the sea?
-
The merchandise you traded satisfied the desires of many nations. Kings at the ends of the earth were enriched by your trade.
-
Now you are a wrecked ship, broken at the bottom of the sea. All your merchandise and crew have gone down with you.
-
All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.
-
The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.'"
