1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Now, son of man, lament for Tyre.
3. Say to Tyre, who is located at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands: This is what the Lord God says:Tyre, you declared,‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4. Your realm was in the heart of the sea;your builders perfected your beauty.
5. They constructed all your plankingwith pine trees from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanonto make a mast for you.
6. They made your oars of oaks from Bashan.They made your deck of cypress woodfrom the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.
