1. The Lord spoke his word to me, saying:
2. “Human, sing a funeral song for the city of Tyre.
3. Speak to Tyre, which has ports for the Mediterranean Sea and is a place for trade for the people of many lands along the seacoast. ‘This is what the Lord God says:Tyre, you have said,“I am like a beautiful ship.”
4. You were at home on the high seas.Your builders made your beauty perfect.
5. They made all your boardsof fir trees from Mount Hermon.They took a cedar tree from Lebanonto make a ship’s mast for you.
