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.

7. Your sail was made offine embroidered linen from Egypt,and served as your banner.Your awning was of blue and purple fabricfrom the coasts of Elishah.
