1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying:
2. And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
3. and say unto Tyre: O thou that art situate at the entries of the sea, and traffickest with the peoples in many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.
4. Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
