1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 againH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 2And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH5375 upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for TyreH6865; 3and sayH559 unto TyreH6865, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the seaH3220, which art the merchantH7402 of the peoplesH5971 unto manyH7227 islesH339, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: Thou, O TyreH6865, hast saidH559, I am perfectH3632 in beautyH3308. 4Thy bordersH1366 are in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220, thy buildersH1129 have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. 5They have madeH6213 allH3605 thy planksH3871 of firH1265 treesH1265 from SenirH8149: they have takenH3947 cedarsH730 from LebanonH3844 to makeH6213 a mastH8650 for thee. 6Of the oaksH437 of BashanH1316 have they madeH6213 thine oars; they have madeH6213 thy benches of ivoryH8127 inlaid in boxwoodH839, from the islesH339 of KittimH3794. 7Of fineH8336 linenH8336 with broidered workH7553 from EgyptH4714 was thy sailH5251, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blueH8504 and purpleH713 from the islesH339 of ElishahH473 was thine awningH4374. 8The inhabitantsH3427 of Zidon and ArvadH719 were thy rowers: thy wiseH2450 menH2450, O TyreH6865, were in thee, they were thy pilotsH2259. 9The ancients of GebalH1380 and the wiseH2450 menH2450 thereof were in thee thy calkers: allH3605 the shipsH591 of the seaH3220 with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandiseH4627. 10PersiaH6539 and LudH3865 and PutH5414 were in thine armyH2428, thy menH376 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they setH5414 forthH5414 thy comeliness. 11The menH1121 of ArvadH719 with thine armyH2428 were uponH5921 thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 aboutH1961, and the GammadimH1575 were in thy towersH4026: they hangedH8518 their shieldsH7982 uponH5921 thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 aboutH1961; they have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. 12TarshishH8659 was thy merchantH5503 by reason of the multitudeH7230 of allH3605 kindsH1952 of richesH1952; with silverH3701, ironH1270, tinH913, and leadH5777, they tradedH5414 for thy waresH5801. 13JavanH3120, TubalH8422, and MeshechH4902, they were thy traffickers: they tradedH7402 the personsH5315 of menH120 and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 for thy merchandiseH4627. 14They of the houseH1004 of TogarmahH8425 tradedH5414 for thy waresH5801 with horsesH5483 and war-horses and mulesH6505. 15The menH1121 of DedanH1719 were thy traffickers: manyH7227 islesH339 were the mart of thine handH3027: they broughtH7725 thee in exchange hornsH7161 of ivoryH8127 and ebonyH1894. 16SyriaH758 was thy merchantH5503 by reason of the multitudeH7230 of thy handyworks: they tradedH5414 for thy waresH5801 with emeraldsH5306, purpleH713, and broidered workH4639, and fineH948 linenH948, and coralH7215, and rubiesH3539. 17JudahH3063, and the landH776 of IsraelH3478, they were thy traffickers: they tradedH7402 for thy merchandiseH4627 wheatH2406 of MinnithH4511, and pannag, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081, and balmH6875: 18DamascusH1834 was thy merchantH5503 for the multitudeH7230 of thy handyworks, by reason of the multitudeH7230 of allH3605 kindsH1952 of richesH1952; with the wineH3196 of HelbonH2463, and whiteH6713 woolH6785. 19VedanH2051 and JavanH3120 tradedH5414 with yarn for thy waresH5801: bright ironH1270, cassiaH6916, and calamusH7070, were among thy merchandiseH4627. 20DedanH1719 was thy trafficker in precious cloths for ridingH7396. 21ArabiaH6152, and allH3605 the princesH5387 of KedarH6938, they were the merchantsH5503 of thy handH3027; in lambsH3733, and ramsH352, and goatsH6260, in theseH1992 were they thy merchantsH5503. 22The traffickers of ShebaH7614 and RaamahH7484, they were thy traffickers: they tradedH7402 for thy waresH5801 with chiefH7218 of allH3605 spicesH1314, and with allH3605 preciousH3368 stonesH68, and goldH2091. 23HaranH2771 and CannehH3656 and EdenH5729, the traffickers of ShebaH7614, AsshurH804 and ChilmadH3638 were they traffickers. 24TheseH1992 were thy traffickers in choiceH4360 wares, in wrappings of blueH8504 and broidered workH7553, and in chests of rich apparel, boundH2280 with cordsH2256 and made of cedar, among thy merchandiseH4819. 25The shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 were thy caravans for thy merchandiseH4627: and thou wast replenished, and madeH3513 veryH3966 gloriousH3513 in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220. 26Thy rowers have broughtH935 thee intoH935 greatH7227 watersH4325: the eastH6921 windH7307 hath brokenH7665 thee in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220. 27Thy richesH1952, and thy waresH5801, thy merchandiseH4627, thy mariners, and thy pilotsH2259, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandiseH4627, and allH3605 thy menH376 of warH4421, that are in thee, with allH3605 thy companyH6951 whichH834 is in the midstH8432 of thee, shall fallH5307 intoH8432 the heartH3820 of the seasH3220 in the dayH3117 of thy ruinH4658. 28At the soundH6963 of the cryH2201 of thy pilotsH2259 the suburbs shall shakeH7493. 29And allH3605 that handleH8610 the oar, the mariners, and allH3605 the pilotsH2259 of the seaH3220, shall comeH3381 downH3381 from their shipsH591, they shall standH5975 uponH413 the landH776, 30and shall cause their voiceH6963 to be heardH8085 over thee, and shall cryH2199 bitterlyH4751, and shall castH5927 upH5927 dustH6083 uponH5921 their headsH7218, they shall wallowH6428 themselvesH5921 in the ashesH665: 31and they shall makeH7139 themselvesH5315 baldH7144 for thee, and girdH2296 them with sackclothH8242, and they shall weepH1058 for thee in bitternessH4751 of soulH5315 with bitterH4751 mourningH4553. 32And in their wailing they shall takeH5375 upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for thee, and lamentH7015 over thee, saying, Who is there like TyreH6865, like herH413 that is broughtH5375 to silence in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220? 33When thy waresH5801 wentH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the seasH3220, thou filledst manyH7227 peoplesH5971; thou didst enrichH6238 the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 with the multitudeH7230 of thy richesH1952 and of thy merchandiseH4627. 34In the time that thou wast brokenH7665 by the seasH3220 in the depthsH4615 of the watersH4325, thy merchandiseH4627 and allH3605 thy companyH6951 didH5307 fallH5307 in the midstH8432 of thee. 35AllH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the islesH339 are astonishedH8074 at thee, and their kingsH4428 are horribly afraid, they are troubledH7481 in their countenanceH6440. 36The merchantsH5503 among the peoplesH5971 hissH8319 at thee; thou art becomeH1961 a terrorH1091, and thou shalt neverH369 be anyH369 moreH369.
