1The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre, 3And say unto Tyre, O thou that art situated at the entrance {entry} of the sea, that art a merchant of the people for many coastlands {isles}, Thus saith the LORD God: O Tyre, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 4Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 5They have made all thy planks {ship boards} of fir trees of Senir; they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee. 6Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the coasts {isles} of Kittim. 7Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the coasts {isles} of Elishah was that which covered thee. 8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were thy mariners; thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, were thy pilots. 9The ancients of Gebal and its {the} wise men {thereof} were in thee thy caulkers; all the ships of the sea, with their mariners, were in thee to exchange {occupy} thy merchandise.

10They of Persia and of Lud and of Put were in thine army, thy men of war; they hung {hanged} the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy splendor {comeliness}. 11The men of Arvad, with thine army, were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers; they hung {hanged} their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect. 12Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they traded in thy fairs. 13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants; they traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze in thy market. 14They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 15The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many coastlands {isles} were the merchandise of thine hand; they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony. 16Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making, they traded {occupied} in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 17Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants; they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 18Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19Vedan {Dan also} and Javan, going to and fro, traded {occupied} in thy fairs; bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 20Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 21Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar traded {, they occupied} with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats; in these were they thy merchants. 22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants; they traded {occupied}in thy fairs with the best {chief} of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 23Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants. 24These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and embroidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 25The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market; and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.

26Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. 27Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy caulkers, and the traders {occupiers} of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. 28The pasture lands {suburbs} shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 29And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land, 30And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes. 31And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing {howling}. 32And in their wailing {howling} they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyre, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? 33When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. 34In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. 35All the inhabitants of the coastlands {isles} shall be appalled {astonished} at thee, and their kings shall be very much {sore} afraid; they shall be troubled in their countenance. 36The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.
