Ezekiel 27:21-36

21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your favored trading partners in lambs, rams and goats; in these they were your customers.

22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were your vendors—they traded for your wares with the finest spices, all precious stones and gold.

23Haran and Canneh and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad traded with you.

24They traded for your merchandise with gorgeous fabrics, garments of blue and richly woven work, carpets of multi-colored material, with cords twisted and tightly knotted.

25The ships of Tarshish serve as carriers for your wares. “‘So you were filled and heavily loaded in the heart of the seas.

26Your rowers have brought you into great waters. But the east wind will break you in the heart of the seas.

27Your riches, your wares, your merchan­dise, your sailors, your pilots, your caulkers, the traders of your merchandise, all your men of war that are in you, with all your company in your midst will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.

28At the sound of the cry of your pilots the countryside will shake.

29All the oarsmen, the sailors and all the mariners of the sea will come down from their ships to stand on the ground.

30They will raise their voices over you and cry bitterly. They will throw up dust on their heads. They will roll themselves in ashes.

31They will shave themselves bald for you and put on sackcloth. They will weep for you with bitter soul, with bitter lament.

32In their wailing they will take up a lament for you. They will mourn over you: “Who was like Tyre—silenced in the midst of the sea?”

33When your merchandise came out from the seas, you satisfied many people. With the abundance of your wealth and your wares you enriched the kings of the earth.

34Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters. Your merchandise and all your company have fallen in your midst.

35All the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled at you. Their kings are horribly afraid, their faces are convulsed.

36The merchants among the people hiss at you. You have become a horror and will be no more.’”
