1This word of the LORD came to me:
2“O man, raise a dirge over Tyre
3and say to her who is enthroned at the gateway to the sea, who carries the trade of the nations to many coasts and islands: These are the words of the Lord GOD: Tyre, you declared, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4Your frontiers were on the high seas, your builders made your beauty perfect;
5they used pine from Senir to fashion all your ribs; they took a cedar from Lebanon to set up a mast for you.
6They made your oars of oaks from Bashan; for your deck they used cypress from the coasts of Kittim.
7Your canvas was linen, patterned linen from Egypt to serve you for sails; your awnings were violet and purple from the coasts of Elishah.
8Men from Sidon and Arvad served as your oarsmen; you had skilled men among you, Tyre, acting as your helmsmen.
9You had skilled veterans from Gebal to caulk your seams. “Every fully manned seagoing ship visited your harbour to traffic in your wares;
10Persia, Lydia, and Put supplied mercenaries for your army; they arrayed shield and helmet in you, and it was they who gave you your splendour.
11Men of Arvad and Cilicia manned your walls on every side, men of Gammad were posted on your towers; they arrayed their bucklers around your battlements, making your beauty perfect.
12“Tarshish was a source of your commerce, from its abundant resources offering silver, iron, tin, and lead as your staple wares.
13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech dealt with you, offering slaves and bronze utensils as your imports.
14Men from Togarmah offered horses, cavalry steeds, and mules as your wares.
15Rhodians dealt with you; many islands were a source of your commerce, paying their dues to you in ivory tusks and ebony.
16Edom was a source of your commerce, so many were your undertakings, and offered purple garnets, brocade and fine linen, black coral and red jasper, for your wares.
17Judah and Israel traded with you, offering wheat from Minnith, and meal, grape-syrup, oil, and balm as your imports.
18Damascus was a source of your commerce, so many were your undertakings, from its abundant resources offering Helbon wine and Suhar wool,
19and casks of wine from Izalla, in exchange for your wares; wrought iron, cassia, and sweet cane were among your imports.
20Dedan traded with you in coarse woollens for saddle-cloths.
21Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar traded with you; they were the source of your commerce in lambs, rams, and goats.
22Merchants from Sheba and Raamah traded with you, offering all the choicest spices, every kind of precious stone, and gold as your wares.
23Harran, Kanneh, and Eden, merchants from Asshur and all Media, traded with you;
24they were your dealers in choice stuffs: violet cloths and brocades, in stores of coloured fabric rolled up and tied with cords.
25“Ships of Tarshish were the caravans for your imports; you were deeply laden with full cargoes on the high seas.
26Your oarsmen brought you into many waters, but an east wind wrecked you on the high seas.
27Your wealth, your wares, your imports, your sailors and your helmsmen, your caulkers, your merchants, and all your warriors, all who were in the ship with you were flung into the sea when it sank.
28Amid the cries of your helmsmen the troubled waters tossed.
29When rowers disembark from their ships, when sailors and the helmsmen, all together, go ashore,
30they mourn aloud over your fate and cry out bitterly; they throw dust on their heads and sprinkle themselves with ashes.
31At your plight they cut off their hair and put on sackcloth; they weep bitterly over you with most bitter wailing.
32In their lamentation they raise a dirge and bewail you, saying: ‘Who was like Tyre, set in the midst of the sea?
33When your wares were unloaded off the seas you met the needs of many nations; with your vast resources and your imports you enriched the kings of the earth.
34Now you are wrecked at sea, sunk in deep water; your wares and all your crew have gone down with you.
35All who dwell on the coasts and islands are aghast at your fate; horror is written on the faces of their kings and their hair stands on end.
36Among the nations the merchants gasp at the sight of you; destruction has come on you, and you shall be no more.’”
