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.

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.

³³ When thy wares went forth over the seas, thou filledst many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy substance and of thy merchandise.

³⁴ In the time [when] thou art broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, thy merchandise and all thine assemblage in the midst of thee have fallen.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the isles are amazed at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, [their] countenance is troubled.

³⁶ The merchants among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.

¹ The word of Yahweh 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 isles, thus says the Lord Yahweh: 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 fir trees from Senir; they have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

⁶ Of the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars; they have made your benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of Kittim.

⁷ Of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail, that it might be to you for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles 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 the wise men of it were in you your repairers of ship seams: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to deal in your merchandise.

¹⁰ Persia and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your comeliness.

¹¹ The men of Arvad with your army were on your walls round about, and valorous men were in your towers; they hanged their shields on your walls round about; they have perfected your beauty.

¹² Tarshish was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for your wares.

¹³ Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your traffickers; they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for your merchandise.

¹⁴ They of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses and war-horses and mules.

¹⁵ The men of Dedan were your traffickers; many isles were the market of your hand: they brought you in exchange horns of ivory and ebony.

¹⁶ Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks: they traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies.

¹⁷ Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your traffickers: they traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, and confections, and honey, and oil, and balm.

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: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among your merchandise.

²¹ Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they were the merchants of your hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they your merchants.

²³ Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur [and] Chilmad, were your traffickers.

²⁴ These were your traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of cedar, among your merchandise.

²⁵ The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise: and 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, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your repairers of ship seams, and the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you, with all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.

²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your pilots the suburbs shall shake.

²⁹ All who handled the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand on the land,

³⁰ and shall cause their voice to be heard over you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust on their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:

³¹ and they shall make themselves bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.

³² In their wailing they shall 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 midst of the sea?

³³ When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many peoples; you did enrich 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 did fall in the midst of you.

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their face.

¹ The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

² And you, son of man, make a song of grief for Tyre;

³ And say to Tyre, O you who are seated at the doorway of the sea, trading for the peoples with the great sea-lands, these are the words of the Lord: You, O Tyre, have said, I am a ship completely beautiful.

⁴ Your builders have made your outlines in the heart of the seas, they have made you completely beautiful.

⁵ They have made all your boards of fir-trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make the supports for your sails.

⁶ Of oak-trees from Bashan they have made your driving blades; they have made your floors of ivory and boxwood from the sea-lands of Kittim.

⁷ The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.

⁸ The people of Zidon and Arvad were your boatmen; the wise men of Zemer were in you; they were guiding your ships;

⁹ The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight: all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods.

¹⁰ Cush and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war, hanging up their body-covers and head-dresses of war in you: they gave you your glory.

¹¹ The men of Arvad in your army were on your walls, and were watchmen in your towers, hanging up their arms on your walls round about; they made you completely beautiful.

¹² Tarshish did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth; they gave silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

¹⁵ The men of Rodan were your traders: a great number of sea-lands did business with you: they gave you horns of ivory and ebony as an offering.

¹⁶ Edom did business with you because of the great number of things which you made; they gave emeralds, purple, and needlework, and the best linen and coral and rubies for your goods.

¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel were your traders; they gave grain of Minnith and sweet cakes and honey and oil and perfume for your goods.

¹⁸ Damascus did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth, with wine of Helbon and white wool.

¹⁹ ... for your goods: they gave polished iron and spices for your goods.

²⁰ Dedan did trade with you in cloths for the backs of horses.

²¹ Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar did business with you; in lambs and sheep and goats, in these they did business with you.

²² The traders of Sheba and Raamah did trade with you; they gave the best of all sorts of spices and all sorts of stones of great price and gold for your goods.

²³ Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Asshur and all the Medes:

²⁴ These were your traders in beautiful robes, in rolls of blue and needlework, and in chests of coloured cloth, corded with cords and made of cedar-wood, in them they did trade with you.

²⁵ Tarshish ships did business for you in your goods: and you were made full, and great was your glory in the heart of the seas.

²⁶ Your boatmen have taken you into great waters: you have been broken by the east wind in the heart of the seas.

²⁷ Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your ships' guides, the boards of the ship will be shaking.

²⁹ And all the boatmen, the seamen and those who are expert at guiding a ship through the sea, will come down from their ships and take their places on the land;

³⁰ And their voices will be sounding over you, and crying bitterly they will put dust on their heads, rolling themselves in the dust:

³¹ And they will have the hair of their heads cut off because of you, and will put haircloth on their bodies, weeping for you with bitter grief in their souls, even with bitter sorrow.

³² And in their weeping they will make a song of grief for you, sorrowing over you and saying, Who is like Tyre, who has come to an end in the deep sea?

³³ When your goods went out over the seas, you made numbers of peoples full; the wealth of the kings of the earth was increased with your great wealth and all your goods.

³⁴ Now that you are broken by the seas in the deep waters, your goods and all your people will go down with you.

³⁵ All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.

³⁶ Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.
