American Standard Version

1The wordH1697 of Jehovah came again unto me, sayingH559, 2And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH5375 up a lamentationH7015 over TyreH6865; 3and sayH559 unto TyreH6865, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the seaH3220, that art the merchant of the peoplesH5971 unto manyH7227 isles, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Thou, O TyreH6865, hast saidH559, I am perfectH3632 in beautyH3308. 4Thy bordersH1366 are in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220; thy buildersH1129 have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. 5They have madeH6213 all thy planks of fir-trees from SenirH8149; they have takenH3947 a cedarH730 from LebanonH3844 to makeH6213 a mastH8650 for thee. 6Of the oaksH437 of BashanH1316 have they madeH6213 thine oars; they have madeH6213 thy benches of ivoryH8127 inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of KittimH3794. 7Of fineH8336 linenH8336 with broidered work from EgyptH4714 wasH1961 thy sailH5251, that it might beH1961 to thee for an ensign; blueH8504 and purpleH713 from the isles of ElishahH473 wasH1961 thine awning. 8The inhabitantsH3427 of SidonH6721 and ArvadH719 wereH1961 thy rowers: thy wiseH2450 men, O TyreH6865, wereH1961 in thee, they wereH1961 thy pilots. 9The oldH2205 men of Gebal and the wiseH2450 men thereof wereH1961 in thee thy calkers: all the shipsH591 of the seaH3220 with their mariners wereH1961 in thee to deal in thy merchandiseH4627. 10PersiaH6539 and LudH3865 and PutH5414 wereH1961 in thine armyH2428, thy menH376 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they setH5414 forth thy comeliness. 11The men of ArvadH719 with thine armyH2428 wereH1961 upon thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 about, and valorous men wereH1961 in thy towersH4026; they hangedH8518 their shieldsH7982 upon thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 about; they have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308.

12TarshishH8659 was thy merchant by reason of the multitudeH7230 of all kinds of riches; with silverH3701, ironH1270, tinH913, and leadH5777, they traded for thy wares. 13JavanH3120, TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, they were thy traffickers; they traded the personsH5315 of menH120 and vesselsH3627 of brass for thy merchandiseH4627. 14They of the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 traded for thy wares with horsesH5483 and war-horses and mulesH6505. 15The men of DedanH1719 were thy traffickers; manyH7227 isles were the mart of thy handH3027: they broughtH7725 thee in exchange hornsH7161 of ivoryH8127 and ebony. 16Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitudeH7230 of thy handiworks: they traded for thy wares with emeralds, purpleH713, and broidered workH4639, and fineH948 linenH948, and coralH7215, and rubiesH3539. 17JudahH3063, and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, they were thy traffickers: they traded for thy merchandiseH4627 wheatH2406 of MinnithH4511, and pannag, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081, and balmH6875. 18DamascusH1834 was thy merchant for the multitudeH7230 of thy handiworks, by reason of the multitudeH7230 of all kinds of riches, with the wineH3196 of Helbon, and white woolH6785. 19Vedan and JavanH3120 traded with yarn for thy wares: bright ironH1270, cassiaH6916, and calamusH7070, wereH1961 among thy merchandiseH4627. 20DedanH1719 was thy trafficker in precious cloths for riding. 21ArabiaH6152, and all the princesH5387 of KedarH6938, they were the merchants of thy handH3027; in lambsH3733, and ramsH352, and goatsH6260, in these were they thy merchants. 22The traffickers of ShebaH7614 and RaamahH7484, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy wares with the chiefH7218 of all spicesH1314, and with all preciousH3368 stonesH68, and goldH2091. 23HaranH2771 and Canneh and EdenH5729, the traffickers of ShebaH7614, AsshurH804 and Chilmad, were thy traffickers. 24These were thy traffickers in choice wares, in wrappings of blueH8504 and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, boundH2280 with cordsH2256 and made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 25The shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 were thy caravans for thy merchandiseH4627: and thou wast replenished, and madeH3513 veryH3966 gloriousH3513 in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220.

26Thy rowers have broughtH935 thee into greatH7227 watersH4325: the eastH6921 windH7307 hath brokenH7665 thee in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220. 27Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandiseH4627, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the dealers in thy merchandiseH4627, and all thy menH376 of warH4421, that are in thee, with all thy companyH6951 which is in the midstH8432 of thee, shall fallH5307 into the heartH3820 of the seasH3220 in the dayH3117 of thy ruin. 28At the soundH6963 of the cryH2201 of thy pilots the suburbs shall shakeH7493. 29And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the seaH3220, shall comeH3381 down from their shipsH591; they shall standH5975 upon the landH776, 30and shall cause their voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 over thee, and shall cryH2199 bitterly, and shall cast up dustH6083 upon their headsH7218; they shall wallow themselves in the ashesH665: 31and they shall makeH7139 themselves bald for thee, and girdH2296 them with sackclothH8242, and they shall weepH1058 for thee in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315 with bitterH4751 mourningH4553. 32And in their wailing they shall takeH5375 up a lamentationH7015 for thee, and lament over thee, saying, Who is there like TyreH6865, like her that is brought to silence in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220? 33When thy wares wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the seasH3220, thou filledst manyH7227 peoplesH5971; thou didst enrich the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 with the multitudeH7230 of thy riches and of thy merchandiseH4627. 34In the timeH6256 that thou wast brokenH7665 by the seasH3220 in the depthsH4615 of the watersH4325, thy merchandiseH4627 and all thy companyH6951 did fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of thee. 35All the inhabitantsH3427 of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kingsH4428 are horribly afraid; they are troubled in their countenance. 36The merchants among the peoplesH5971 hissH8319 at thee; thou art becomeH1961 a terrorH1091, and thou shalt nevermore have any being.
