Ezekiel 27 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
[2] “You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;
[3] and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord Yahweh says: “You, Tyre, have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
[4] Your borders are in the heart of the seas. Your builders have perfected your beauty.
[5] They have made all your planks of cypress trees from Senir. They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
[6] They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan. They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in cypress wood from the islands of Kittim.
[7] Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt, that it might be to you for a banner. Blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning.
[8] The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your wise men, Tyre, were in you. They were your pilots.
[9] The old men of Gebal and its wise men were your repairers of ship seams in you. All the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in your merchandise.
[10] “ ‘ “Persia, Lud, and Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you. They showed your beauty.
[11] The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, and valiant men were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around. They have perfected your beauty.
[12] “ ‘ “Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches. They traded for your wares with silver, iron, tin, and lead.
[13] “ ‘ “Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
[14] “ ‘ “They of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, war horses, and mules.
[15] “ ‘ “The men of Dedan traded with you. Many islands were the market of your hand. They brought you horns of ivory and ebony in exchange.
[16] “ ‘ “Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks. They traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies.
[17] “ ‘ “Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded wheat of Minnith, confections, honey, oil, and balm for your merchandise.
[18] “ ‘ “Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
[19] “ ‘ “Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were among your merchandise.
[20] “ ‘ “Dedan was your merchant in precious saddle blankets for riding.
[21] “ ‘ “Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favorite dealers in lambs, rams, and goats. In these, they were your merchants.
[22] “ ‘ “The traders of Sheba and Raamah were your traders. They traded for your wares with the best of all spices, all precious stones, and gold.
[23] “ ‘ “Haran, Canneh, Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were your traders.
[24] These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in cedar chests of rich clothing bound with cords, among your merchandise.
[25] “ ‘ “The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise. You were replenished and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
[26] Your rowers have brought you into great waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
[27] Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, your pilots, your repairers of ship seams, the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, with all your company which is among you, will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
[28] At the sound of the cry of your pilots, the pasture lands will shake.
[29] All who handle the oars, the mariners and all the pilots of the sea, will come down from their ships. They will stand on the land,
[30] and will cause their voice to be heard over you, and will cry bitterly. They will cast up dust on their heads. They will wallow in the ashes.
[31] They will make themselves bald for you, and clothe themselves with sackcloth. They will weep for you in bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.
[32] In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, ‘Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea?’
[33] When your wares came from the seas, you filled many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
[34] In the time that you were broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell within you.
[35] All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.
[36] The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will be no more.” ’ ”

[1] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
[2] ‘And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre:
[3] O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou-thou hast said: I am the perfection of beauty.
[4] In the heart of the seas are thy borders, Thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
[5] Of firs of Senir they have built to thee all thy double-boarded ships, Of cedars of Lebanon they have taken to make a mast for thee,
[6] Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim.
[7] Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt hath been thy sail, To be to thee for an ensign, Of blue and purple from isles of Elishah hath been thy covering.
[8] Inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad have been rowers to thee, Thy wise men, O Tyre, have been in thee, They are thy pilots.
[9] Elders of Gebal and its wise men have been in thee, Strengthening thy breach; All ships of the sea and their mariners, Have been in thee, to trade with thy merchandise.
[10] Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in thy forces-thy men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in thee, They-they have given out thine honour.
[11] The sons of Arvad, and thy force, Are on thy walls round about, And short swordsmen in thy towers have been, Their shields they have hung up on thy walls round about, They-they have perfected thy beauty.
[12] Tarshish is thy merchant, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given out thy remnants.
[13] Javan, Tubal, and Meshech-they are thy merchants, For persons of men, and vessels of brass, They have given out thy merchandise.
[14] They of the house of Togarmah, For horses, and riding steeds, and mules, They have given out thy remnants.
[15] Sons of Dedan are thy merchants, Many isles are the mart of thy hand, Horns of ivory and ebony they sent back thy reward.
[16] Aram is thy merchant, Because of the abundance of thy works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and coral, and agate, They have given out thy remnants.
[17] Judah and the land of Israel-they are thy merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out thy merchandise.
[18] Damascus is thy merchant, For the abundance of thy works, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For wine of Helbon, and white wool.

[23] Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, merchants of Sheba, Asshur-Chilmad-are thy merchants,
[24] They are thy merchants for perfect things, For wrappings of blue, and embroidery, And for treasuries of rich apparel, With cords bound and girded, for thy merchandise,
[25] Ships of Tarshish are thy double walls of thy merchandise, And thou art filled and honoured greatly, In the heart of the seas.
[26] Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.
[27] Thy wealth and thy remnants, Thy merchandise, thy mariners, And thy pilots, strengtheners of thy breach, And the traders of thy merchandise, And all thy men of war, who are in thee, And in all thine assembly that is in thy midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall,
[28] At the voice of the cry of thy pilots shake do the suburbs.
[29] And come down from their ships have all handling an oar, Mariners, all the pilots of the sea, on the land they stand,
[30] And have sounded for thee with their voice, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, In ashes they do roll themselves.
[31] And they have made for thee baldness, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for thee, In bitterness of soul-a bitter mourning.
[32] And lifted up for thee have their sons a lamentation, And they have lamented over thee, who is as Tyre? As the cut-off one in the midst of the sea?
[33] With the outgoing of thy remnants from the seas, Thou hast filled many peoples, With the abundance of thy riches, and thy merchandise, Thou hast made rich things of earth.
[34] The time of thy being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Thy merchandise and all thy assembly in thy midst have fallen.
[35] All inhabitants of the isles have been astonished at thee, And their kings have been sore afraid, They have been troubled in countenance.
[36] Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not-to the age!’
