27 The
word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Now,
thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus; 3 And
say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which
art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty. 4 Thy
borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy
beauty. 5 They
have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars
from Lebanon to make masts for thee. 6 Of
the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites
have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim. 7 Fine
linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth
to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which
covered thee. 8 The
inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus,
that were in thee, were thy pilots. 9 The
ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all
the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. 10 They
of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they
hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness. 11 The
men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the
Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls
round about; they have made thy beauty perfect. 12 Tarshish
was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with
silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs. 13 Javan,
Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of
men and vessels of brass in thy market. 14 They
of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen
and mules. 15 The
men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine
hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony. 16 Syria
was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making:
they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work,
and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 17 Judah,
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. 18 Damascus
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.
19
Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron,
cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 20 Dedan
was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots. 21 Arabia,
and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams,
and goats: in these were they thy merchants. 22 The
merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in
thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran,
and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were
thy merchants. 24 These
were thy 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 thy merchandise. 25 The
ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished,
and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. 26 Thy
rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee
in the midst of the seas. 27 Thy
riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy
calkers, and the 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. 28 The
suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. 29 And
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; 30 And
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: 31 And
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. 32 And
in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over
thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of
the sea? 33 When
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. 34 In
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. 35 All
the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings
shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. 36 The
merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and
never shalt be any more.
