  • Ezek 27:3-9 : 3 and say to Tyre, situated at the gateways of the sea, a merchant of peoples to many coastlands: 'Thus says the Lord God: Tyre, you have declared, "I am perfect in beauty."' 4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders have perfected your beauty. 5 They made all your planks from cypress trees from Senir; they took cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6 They crafted your oars from oaks of Bashan; they made your deck of inlaid ivory from boxwood from the coastlands of Cyprus. 7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail, serving as your banner; blue and purple fabric from the coastlands of Elishah was your covering. 8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were aboard; they served as your sailors. 9 The elders of Gebal and its skilled workers repaired your leaks; all the ships of the sea and their sailors came to deal in your trade. 10 Men of Persia, Lydia, and Put served as warriors in your army; they hung their shields and helmets in you, enhancing your splendor. 11 The men of Arvad and your army stood on your walls all around, and valiant men were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they brought your beauty to perfection. 12 Tarshish traded with you because of your great wealth of goods, exchanging silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares. 13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human lives and bronze articles for your merchandise. 14 From Beth Togarmah, they traded horses, war horses, and mules for your goods. 15 The men of Dedan were your merchants; many coastlands were your clients; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony wood as your payments. 16 Aram traded with you because of the vast amount of your products; they exchanged turquoise, purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your wares. 17 Judah and the land of Israel were your merchants. They traded wheat from Minnith, sweet confections, honey, oil, and balm for your merchandise. 18 Damascus traded with you because of the abundance of your goods and the multitude of your wealth, offering wine from Helbon and fine white wool. 19 Dan and Javan from Uzal exchanged your goods for wrought iron, cassia, and aromatic cane, contributing to your merchandise. 20 The men of Dedan were your merchants, dealing in luxurious garments for chariot riders. 21 Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were merchants at your service, trading lambs, rams, and goats with you. 22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you, offering the finest spices, precious stones, and gold in exchange for your wares. 23 Haran, Canneh, and Eden, as well as the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad, traded with you. 24 They sold you luxurious items, embroidered blue and multicolored garments, treasures of fine clothes, bound with strong cords, packed securely for your market. 25 The ships of Tarshish carried your goods as your trading fleet. You were filled with merchandise and became glorious in the heart of the seas. 26 Your rowers brought you into deep waters, but the east wind broke you apart in the heart of the seas. 27 Your wealth, merchandise, wares, sailors, pilots, ship-repairers, merchants, and all your warriors, along with the people in your midst, will sink into the heart of the seas on the day of your ruin. 28 At the sound of the cries of your pilots, the surrounding lands will tremble. 29 All who handle the oars, the sailors, and all the seafaring captains will disembark from their ships and stand on the shore. 30 They will mourn over you with loud cries, bitterly wailing, throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes. 31 They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. In deep anguish and bitter mourning, they will weep for you. 32 And they will chant a dirge for you, lamenting, 'Who was ever like Tyre, silenced and destroyed in the midst of the sea?' 33 When your merchandise went out to the seas, you satisfied many peoples. With your abundant wealth and your goods, you enriched the kings of the earth. 34 Now that you are broken in the seas, in the depths of the waters, your goods and all your company have fallen in your midst. 35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled at you; their kings shudder with horror, their faces troubled. 36 The merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a source of terror and will cease to exist forever.
