“O Tyre, you have said,
    ‘I am ^(E)perfect in beauty.’
⁴ Your borders are ^(F)in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.
⁵ They made all your planks
    of fir trees from ^(G)Senir;
they took ^(H)a cedar from Lebanon
    to make a mast for you.
⁶ Of ^(I)oaks of Bashan
    they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines
    from ^(J)the coasts of Cyprus,
    inlaid with ivory.
^7 (K)Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
    was your sail,
    serving as your banner;
blue and purple from ^(L)the coasts of Elishah
    was your awning.
⁸ The inhabitants of Sidon and ^(M)Arvad
    were your rowers;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
    they were ^(N)your pilots.
⁹ The elders of ^(O)Gebal and her skilled men were in you,
    ^(P)caulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
    to barter for your wares.

²⁶ “Your rowers have brought you out
    into the high seas.
^(BG)The east wind has wrecked you
    in the heart of the seas.
²⁷ Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
    your mariners and ^(BH)your pilots,
^(BI)your 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
    ^(BJ)on the day of your fall.
²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your pilots
    ^(BK)the countryside shakes,
²⁹ and down from their ships
    ^(BL)come all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
    stand on the land
^30 (BM)and shout aloud over you
    and cry out bitterly.
^(BN)They cast dust on their heads
    ^(BO)and wallow in ashes;
³¹ they ^(BP)make 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 ^(BQ)raise a lamentation for you
    and lament over you:
^(BR)‘Who is like Tyre,
    like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
³³ When your wares came from the seas,
    ^(BS)you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
    ^(BT)you enriched the kings of the earth.
³⁴ Now ^(BU)you 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 (BV)All the inhabitants of the coastlands
    are appalled at you,
and ^(BW)the hair of their kings bristles with horror;
    their faces are convulsed.
^36 (BX)The merchants among the peoples ^(BY)hiss at you;
    ^(BZ)you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.’”
