# Chapter 27
|
||
1 The word of the Lord came to me:
|
||
2 “Now you, son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre,
|
||
3 and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:
|
||
“O Tyre, you have said,
|
||
‘I am perfect in beauty.’
|
||
4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
|
||
your builders made perfect your beauty.
|
||
5 They made all your planks
|
||
of fir trees from Senir;
|
||
they took a cedar from Lebanon
|
||
to make a mast for you.
|
||
6 Of oaks of Bashan
|
||
they made your oars;
|
||
they made your deck of pines
|
||
from the coasts of Cyprus,
|
||
inlaid with ivory.
|
||
7 Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
|
||
was your sail,
|
||
serving as your banner;
|
||
blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah
|
||
was your awning.
|
||
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
|
||
were your rowers;
|
||
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
|
||
they were your pilots.
|
||
9 The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were in you,
|
||
caulking your seams;
|
||
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
|
||
to barter for your wares.
|
||
10 “Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.
|
||
11 Men of Arvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made perfect your beauty.
|
||
12 “Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares.
|
||
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
|
||
14 From Beth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.
|
||
15 The men of Dedan traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony.
|
||
16 Syria did business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and ruby.
|
||
17 Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm.
|
||
18 Damascus did business with you for your abundant goods, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and wool of Sahar
|
||
19 and casks of wine from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were bartered for your merchandise.
|
||
20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding.
|
||
21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored dealers in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you.
|
||
22 The traders of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; they exchanged for your wares the best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold.
|
||
23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.
|
||
24 In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure.
|
||
25 The ships of Tarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden in the heart of the seas.
|
||
26 “Your rowers have brought you out
|
||
into the high seas.
|
||
The east wind has wrecked you
|
||
in the heart of the seas.
|
||
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
|
||
your mariners and your pilots,
|
||
your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
|
||
and all your men of war who are in you,
|
||
with all your crew
|
||
that is in your midst,
|
||
sink into the heart of the seas
|
||
on the day of your fall.
|
||
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
|
||
the countryside shakes,
|
||
29 and down from their ships
|
||
come all who handle the oar.
|
||
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
|
||
stand on the land
|
||
30 and shout aloud over you
|
||
and cry out bitterly.
|
||
They cast dust on their heads
|
||
and wallow in ashes;
|
||
31 they make themselves bald for you
|
||
and put sackcloth on their waist,
|
||
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
|
||
with bitter mourning.
|
||
32 In their wailing they raise a lamentation for you
|
||
and lament over you:
|
||
‘Who is like Tyre,
|
||
like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
|
||
33 When your wares came from the seas,
|
||
you satisfied many peoples;
|
||
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
|
||
you enriched the kings of the earth.
|
||
34 Now you are wrecked by the seas,
|
||
in the depths of the waters;
|
||
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
|
||
have sunk with you.
|
||
35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands
|
||
are appalled at you,
|
||
and the hair of their kings bristles with horror;
|
||
their faces are convulsed.
|
||
36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you;
|
||
you have come to a dreadful end
|
||
and shall be no more forever.’” |
