3 and say to Tyre, who dwells at ^fthe entrances to the sea, ^gmerchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,
‘I am ^hperfect in beauty.’
4 Your borders are ⁱin the heart of the seas;
your builders made perfect your beauty.
5 They made all your planks
of fir trees from ^jSenir;
they took ^ka cedar from Lebanon
to make a mast for you.
6 Of ^loaks of Bashan
they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines
from ^mthe coasts of Cyprus,
inlaid with ivory.
7 ⁿOf fine embroidered linen from Egypt
was your sail,
serving as your banner;
blue and purple from ^othe coasts of Elishah
was your awning.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and ^pArvad
were your rowers;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
they were ^qyour pilots.
9 The elders of ^rGebal and her skilled men were in you,
^scaulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
to barter for your wares.
10 ^t“Persia and ^uLud and ^vPut were in your army as your men of war. ^wThey hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor. 11 Men of ^xArvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made ^yperfect your beauty.

12 ^z“Tarshish did ^aabusiness with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your ^abwares. 13 ^acJavan, ^adTubal, and ^aeMeshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 From ^afBeth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules ^agfor your wares. 15 The men of ^ahDedan ^{▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint Rhodes} traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony. 16 Syria ^ajdid business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares ^akemeralds, ^alpurple, ^amembroidered work, ^anfine linen, coral, and ^aoruby. 17 Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise ^apwheat of ^aqMinnith, meal, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown} honey, oil, and ^asbalm. 18 ^atDamascus did business with you for your abundant goods, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and ^auwool of Sahar 19 and casks of wine ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew wool of Sahar, Vedan, and Javan} from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, ^awcassia, and ^axcalamus were bartered for your merchandise. 20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of ^ayKedar were your favored dealers ^azin lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you. 22 The traders of ^baSheba and ^bbRaamah traded with you; they exchanged ^bcfor your wares ^bdthe best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold. 23 ^beHaran, Canneh, ^bfEden, traders of Sheba, ^bgAsshur, and Chilmad traded with you. 24 In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of ^bhblue and ^biembroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure. 25 ^bjThe ships of ^bkTarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden ^blin the heart of the seas.

26 “Your rowers have brought you out
into the high seas.
^bmThe east wind has wrecked you
in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your mariners and ^bnyour pilots,
^boyour caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your crew
that is in your midst,
sink into the heart of the seas
^bpon the day of your fall.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
^bqthe countryside shakes,
29 and down from their ships
^brcome all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
stand on the land
30 ^bsand shout aloud over you
and cry out bitterly.
^btThey cast dust on their heads
^buand wallow in ashes;
31 they ^bvmake themselves bald for you
and put sackcloth on their waist,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
with bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they ^bwraise a lamentation for you
and lament over you:
^bx‘Who is like Tyre,
like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares came from the seas,
^byyou satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
^bzyou enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now ^cayou are wrecked by the seas,
in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
have sunk with you.
35 ^cbAll the inhabitants of the coastlands
are appalled at you,
and ^ccthe hair of their kings bristles with horror;
their faces are convulsed.
36 ^cdThe merchants among the peoples ^cehiss at you;
^cfyou have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.’”
