Ezekiel 27:20-36
English Standard Version
20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of (A)Kedar were your favored dealers (B)in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you. 22 The traders of (C)Sheba and (D)Raamah traded with you; they exchanged (E)for your wares (F)the best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold. 23 (G)Haran, Canneh, (H)Eden, traders of Sheba, (I)Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you. 24 In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of (J)blue and (K)embroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure. 25 (L)The ships of (M)Tarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden (N)in the heart of the seas.
26 “Your rowers have brought you out
into the high seas.
(O)The east wind has wrecked you
in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your mariners and (P)your pilots,
(Q)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
(R)on the day of your fall.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
(S)the countryside shakes,
29 and down from their ships
(T)come all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
stand on the land
30 (U)and shout aloud over you
and cry out bitterly.
(V)They cast dust on their heads
(W)and wallow in ashes;
31 they (X)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 (Y)raise a lamentation for you
and lament over you:
(Z)‘Who is like Tyre,
like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares came from the seas,
(AA)you satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
(AB)you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now (AC)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 (AD)All the inhabitants of the coastlands
are appalled at you,
and (AE)the hair of their kings bristles with horror;
their faces are convulsed.
36 (AF)The merchants among the peoples (AG)hiss at you;
(AH)you have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.’”

Ezekiel 27:20-36
New International Version
20 “‘Dedan(A) traded in saddle blankets with you.
21 “‘Arabia(B) and all the princes of Kedar(C) were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.
22 “‘The merchants of Sheba(D) and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices(E) and precious stones, and gold.(F)
23 “‘Harran,(G) Kanneh and Eden(H) and merchants of Sheba, Ashur(I) and Kilmad traded with you. 24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(J) serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
as you sail the sea.(K)
26 Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind(L) will break you to pieces
far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(M) merchandise and wares,
your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(N)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(O)
when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars
will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(P) on their heads
and roll(Q) in ashes.(R)
31 They will shave their heads(S) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(T) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(U)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(V) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(W)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(X)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(Y) and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.(Z)
35 All who live in the coastlands(AA)
are appalled(AB) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.(AC)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(AD)
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(AE)’”
