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 .'
*
Your borders are in the midst of the seas .
Your builders have perfected your beauty .
*
They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir ;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast .
*
Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars ;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks With ivory from the coasts of Cyprus .
*
Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail ;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you .
* "
Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen ;
Your wise men ,
O Tyre ,
were in you ;
They became your pilots .
*
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 .
* "

and Libya Were in your army as men of war ;
They hung shield and helmet in you ;

which were in your marketplace .
* "
The ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise .
You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas .
*
Your oarsmen brought you into many waters ,
But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas .
* "
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 .
*
The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots .
* "
All who handle the oar ,
The mariners ,
All the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore .
*
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 ;
*
They will shave themselves completely bald because of you ,
Gird themselves with sackcloth ,
And weep for you With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing .
*
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 ?
* "
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 .
*
But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters ;
Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst .
*
All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you ;
Their kings will be greatly afraid ,
And their countenance will be troubled .
*
The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you ;
You will become a horror ,
and be no more forever ."""
