1. Then this message came to me from the lord:
2. “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre,
3. that mighty gateway to the sea, the trading center of the world. Give Tyre this message from the Sovereign lord:“You boasted, O Tyre,‘My beauty is perfect!’
4. You extended your boundaries into the sea.Your builders made your beauty perfect.
5. You were like a great shipbuilt of the finest cypress from Senir.They took a cedar from Lebanonto make a mast for you.
6. They carved your oarsfrom the oaks of Bashan.Your deck of pine from the coasts of Cypruswas inlaid with ivory.
