Ezekiel 27:21-36

21The Arabians and the princes of Kedar sent merchants to trade lambs and rams and male goats in exchange for your goods.

22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah came with all kinds of spices, jewels, and gold in exchange for your wares.

23“Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur, and Kilmad came with their merchandise, too.

24They brought choice fabrics to trade—blue cloth, embroidery, and multicolored carpets rolled up and bound with cords.

25The ships of Tarshish were your ocean caravans. Your island warehouse was filled to the brim!

26“But look! Your oarsmen have taken you into stormy seas! A mighty eastern gale has wrecked you in the heart of the sea!

27Everything is lost— your riches and wares, your sailors and pilots, your ship builders, merchants, and warriors. On the day of your ruin, everyone on board sinks into the depths of the sea.

28Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror.

29All the oarsmen abandon their ships; the sailors and pilots stand on the shore.

30They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.

31They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning.

32As they wail and mourn over you, they sing this sad funeral song: ‘Was there ever such a city as Tyre, now silent at the bottom of the sea?

33The merchandise you traded satisfied the desires of many nations. Kings at the ends of the earth were enriched by your trade.

34Now you are a wrecked ship, broken at the bottom of the sea. All your merchandise and crew have gone down with you.

35All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.

36The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.’”
