Ezekiel 27:21-36
21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers, trading in lambs, rams, and goats. 22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your wares they exchanged gold, the finest of all spices, and precious stones. 23Haran, Canneh, and Eden traded with you, and so did the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad. 24In your marketplace they traded with you fine garments of blue, embroidered work, and multicolored rugs with cords tightly twisted and knotted.
25The ships of Tarshish1carried your merchandise.And you were filled with heavy cargoin the heart of the sea.26Your oarsmen have brought youonto the high seas,but the east wind will shatter youin the heart of the sea.27Your wealth, wares, and merchandise,your sailors, captains, and shipwrights,your merchants and all the warriors within you,with all the other people on board,will sink into the heart of the seaon the day of your downfall.
28The countryside will shakewhen your sailors cry out.29All who handle the oarswill abandon their ships.The sailors and all the captains of the seawill stand on the shore.30They will raise their voices for youand cry out bitterly.They will throw dust on their headsand roll in ashes.31They will shave their heads for youand wrap themselves in sackcloth.They will weep over youwith anguish of soul and bitter mourning.
32As they wail and mourn over you,they will take up a lament for you:
‘Who was ever like Tyre,silenced in the middle of the sea?33When your wares went out to sea,you satisfied many nations.You enriched the kings of the earthwith your abundant wealth and merchandise.34Now you are shattered by the seasin the depths of the waters;your merchandise and the people among youhave gone down with you.35All the people of the coastlandsare appalled over you.Their kings shudder with fear;their faces are contorted.36Those who trade among the nationshiss at you;you have come to a horrible endand will be no more.’”
