Ezekiel 27:3–23

³O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou—thou hast said: I am the perfection of beauty. ⁴In the heart of the seas are thy borders, Thy builders have perfected thy beauty. ⁵Of firs of Senir they have built to thee all thy double-boarded ships, Of cedars of Lebanon they have taken to make a mast for thee, ⁶Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim. ⁷Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt hath been thy sail, To be to thee for an ensign, Of blue and purple from isles of Elishah hath been thy covering. ⁸Inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad have been rowers to thee, Thy wise men, O Tyre, have been in thee, They are thy pilots. ⁹Elders of Gebal and its wise men have been in thee, Strengthening thy breach; All ships of the sea and their mariners, Have been in thee, to trade with thy merchandise. ¹⁰Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in thy forces—thy men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in thee, They—they have given out thine honour. ¹¹The sons of Arvad, and thy force, Are on thy walls round about, And short swordsmen in thy towers have been, Their shields they have hung up on thy walls round about, They—they have perfected thy beauty. ¹²Tarshish is thy merchant, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given out thy remnants. ¹³Javan, Tubal, and Meshech—they are thy merchants, For persons of men, and vessels of brass, They have given out thy merchandise. ¹⁴They of the house of Togarmah, For horses, and riding steeds, and mules, They have given out thy remnants. ¹⁵Sons of Dedan are thy merchants, Many isles are the mart of thy hand, Horns of ivory and ebony they sent back thy reward. ¹⁶Aram is thy merchant, Because of the abundance of thy works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and coral, and agate, They have given out thy remnants. ¹⁷Judah and the land of Israel—they are thy merchants, For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm, They have given out thy merchandise. ¹⁸Damascus is thy merchant, For the abundance of thy works, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For wine of Helbon, and white wool. ¹⁹Vedan and Javan go about with thy remnants, They have given shining iron, cassia, and cane, In thy merchandise it hath been. ²⁰Dedan is thy merchant, For clothes of freedom for riding. ²¹Arabia, and all princes of Kedar, They are the traders of thy hand, For lambs, and rams, and he-goats, In these thy merchants. ²²Merchants of Sheba and Raamah—they are thy merchants, For the chief of all spices, And for every precious stone, and gold, They have given out thy remnants. ²³Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, merchants of Sheba, Asshur—Chilmad—are thy merchants,
