* The word of the LORD came again to me , saying , * Now , you son of man , take up a lamentation for Tyrus ; * And say to Tyrus , O you that are situate at the entry of the sea , which are a merchant of the people for many isles , Thus said the Lord GOD ; O Tyrus , you have said , I am of perfect beauty . * Your borders are in the middle of the seas , your builders have perfected your beauty . * They have made all your ship boards of fir trees of Senir : they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you . * Of the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars ; the company of the Ashurites have made your benches of ivory , brought out of the isles of Chittim . * Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which you spread forth to be your sail ; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered you . * The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were your mariners : your wise men , O Tyrus , that were in you , were your pilots . * The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in you your caulkers : all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to occupy your merchandise . * They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in your army , your men of war : they hanged the shield and helmet in you ; they set forth your comeliness . * The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls round about , and the Gammadims were in your towers : they hanged their shields on your walls round about ; they have made your beauty perfect . * Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches ; with silver , iron , tin , and lead , they traded in your fairs . * Javan , Tubal , and Meshech , they were your merchants : they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in your market . * They of the house of Togarmah traded in your fairs with horses and horsemen and mules . * The men of Dedan were your merchants ; many isles were the merchandise of your hand : they brought you for a present horns of ivory and ebony . * Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of your making : they occupied in your fairs with emeralds , purple , and broidered work , and fine linen , and coral , and agate . * Judah , and the land of Israel , they were your merchants : they traded in your market wheat of Minnith , and Pannag , and honey , and oil , and balm . * Damascus was your merchant in the multitude of the wares of your making , for the multitude of all riches ; in the wine of Helbon , and white wool . * Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in your fairs : bright iron , cassia , and calamus , were in your market . * Dedan was your merchant in precious clothes for chariots . * Arabia , and all the princes of Kedar , they occupied with you in lambs , and rams , and goats : in these were they your merchants . * The merchants of Sheba and Raamah , they were your merchants : they occupied in your fairs with chief of all spices , and with all precious stones , and gold . * Haran , and Canneh , and Eden , the merchants of Sheba , Asshur , and Chilmad , were your merchants . * These were your merchants in all sorts of things , in blue clothes , and broidered work , and in chests of rich apparel , bound with cords , and made of cedar , among your merchandise . * The ships of Tarshish did sing of you in your market : and you were replenished , and made very glorious in the middle of the seas . * Your rowers have brought you into great waters : the east wind has broken you in the middle of the seas . * Your riches , and your fairs , your merchandise , your mariners , and your pilots , your caulkers , and the occupiers of your merchandise , and all your men of war , that are in you , and in all your company which is in the middle of you , shall fall into the middle of the seas in the day of your ruin . * The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots . * And all that handle the oar , the mariners , and all the pilots of the sea , shall come down from their ships , they shall stand on the land ; * And shall cause their voice to be heard against you , and shall cry bitterly , and shall cast up dust on their heads , they shall wallow themselves in the ashes : * And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you , and gird them with sackcloth , and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing . * And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you , and lament over you , saying , What city is like Tyrus , like the destroyed in the middle of the sea ? * When your wares went forth out of the seas , you filled many people ; you did enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise . * In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the middle of you shall fall . * All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at you , and their kings shall be sore afraid , they shall be troubled in their countenance . * The merchants among the people shall hiss at you ; you shall be a terror , and never shall be any more .
