1. The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2. Now, you son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre;
3. And say unto Tyre, O you that are situated at the entrance of the sea, which are a merchant of the people for many coastlands, Thus says the Lord GOD; O Tyre, you have said, I am of perfect beauty.
4. Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.
5. They have made all your ship planks of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you.
6. Of the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars; the company of Ashurites have made your planks of inlaid ivory, brought out of the coasts of Kittim.
7. Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was that which you spread forth to be your sail; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was that which covered you.
8. The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your mariners: your wise men, O Tyre, that were in you, were your pilots.
9. The elders of Gebal and its wise men were in you as your caulkers: all the ships of the sea with their oarsmen were in you to market your merchandise.
10. They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in your army, your men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor.
11. The men of Arvad with your army were upon your walls round about, and the Gammadim were in your towers: they hung their shields upon your walls round about; they have made your beauty perfect.
12. Tarshish was your merchant because of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in your wares.
13. Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of bronze in your market.
14. They of the house of Togarmah traded in your wares with horses and horsemen and mules.
15. The men of Dedan were your merchants; many coastlands were the markets of your hand: they brought you for a present tusks of ivory and ebony.
16. Syria was your merchant because of the multitude of the wares of your making: they traded in your wares with emeralds, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
17. Judah, and the land of Israel, they were your merchants: they traded in your market wheat from Minnith, and olives, and honey, and oil, and balm.
18. Damascus was your merchant in the multitude of the wares of your making, for the multitude of great wealth; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19. Dedan also and Javan going to and fro traded in your wares: wrought iron, cassia, and calamus, were in your market.
