God’s Word Translation
Ezekiel 27:21-36
21Arabia and all the officials of Kedar traded with you. They traded lambs, rams, and male goats.
22The merchants from Sheba and Raamah traded with you. They traded the finest spices, precious stones, and gold for your merchandise.
23Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants from Sheba, Assyria, and Kilmad traded with you.
24In your marketplace they traded for beautiful clothes, purple robes, embroidered cloth, and many multicolored rugs with woven and twisted cords.
25“ ‘Ships from Tarshish carried your goods. You were like a ship filled with heavy cargo in the sea.
26Your rowers took you out to the high seas, and an east wind wrecked you in the sea.
27Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, your mariners and your sailors, your caulkers and your merchants, your soldiers and everyone else on board sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked.
28“ ‘When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled.
29All the rowers, the sailors, and all the mariners came down from their ships and stood on the shore.
30They cried loudly and bitterly over you. They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes.
31They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth. They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning.
32They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: “Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?”
33Your merchandise was sent overseas. You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. You made the kings of the earth rich.
34Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. Your goods and your whole crew sank with you.
35All those who live on the coasts are horrified because of you. Their kings are terribly afraid. Their faces show their fear.
36The merchants among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a terrible end, and you will never exist again.’ ”
