Ezekiel 27:1–25

The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,⇇

Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;⇇

And say unto Tyrus, ↦O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, ↦I am of perfect beauty.⇉⇇

Thy borders are in the ↦midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.⇇

They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees ↦of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.⇉⇇

Of ↦the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of ↦the isles of Chittim.⇉⇇

Fine ↦linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; ↦blue and purple from the isles of ↦Elishah was that which covered thee.⇇

The inhabitants of ↦Zidon and ↦Arvad were thy mariners: thy ↦wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.⇉⇇

The ancients of ↦Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.⇇

They of ↦Persia and ↦of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: ↦they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.⇇

The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; ↦they have made thy beauty perfect.⇇

Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.⇉⇇

↦Javan, ↦Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded ↦the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.⇇

They of the house of ↦Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.⇇

The men of ↦Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns ↦of ivory and ebony.⇇

↦Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.⇉⇇

Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market ↦wheat of ↦Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and ↦balm.⇇

↦Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.⇇

↦Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, ↦cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.⇇

↦Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.⇇

↦Arabia, and all the princes of ↦Kedar, they occupied with thee ↦in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.⇇

The merchants of ↦Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.⇇

↦Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of ↦Sheba, ↦Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.⇉⇇

These were thy merchants in ↦all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.⇇

The ↦ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.⇇
