Ezekiel 27:21-36
21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your trade partners; for lambs, rams, and goats they traded with you.
22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah engaged in trade with you; they traded the best kinds of spices along with precious stones and gold for your products.
23Haran, Kanneh, Eden, merchants from Sheba, Asshur, and Kilmad were your clients.
24They traded with you choice garments, purple clothes and embroidered work, and multicolored carpets, bound and reinforced with cords; these were among your merchandise.
25The ships of Tarshish were the transports for your merchandise. “‘So you were filled and weighed down in the heart of the seas.
26Your rowers have brought you into surging waters. The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas.
27Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains, your ship’s carpenters, your merchants, and all your fighting men within you, along with all your crew who are in you, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.
28At the sound of your captains’ cry the waves will surge;
29They will descend from their ships – all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains – they will stand on the land.
30They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes;
31they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.
32As they wail they will lament over you, chanting: “Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?”
33When your products went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with the abundance of your wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth.
34Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk along with you.
35All the inhabitants of the coastlands are shocked at you, and their kings are horribly afraid – their faces are troubled.
36The traders among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a horror, and will be no more.’”
