Ezekiel 27:1-11
1Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2“And you, son of man, 1take up a song of mourning over Tyre; 3and say to Tyre, 2who sits at the 3entrance to the sea, 4merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘This is what the Lord 5God says: “Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.5They have 6made all your planks of juniper trees from 7Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.6Of 8oaks from 9Bashan they have made your rudders; With ivory they have 10inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of 11Cyprus.7Your sail was of colorfully embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your flag; Your 12awning was 13violet and purple from the coastlands of 14Elishah.8The inhabitants of Sidon and 15Arvad were your rowers; Your 16wise men, Tyre, were 17aboard; they were your sailors.9The elders of 18Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your leaks; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.
10“19Persia, 20Lud, and 21Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung up shield and helmet on you; they presented your splendor. 11The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the 22Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.
