“O Tyre, you have said,
^(D)‘I am perfect in beauty.’
⁴ Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
⁵ They ^[b]made all your planks of fir trees from ^(E)Senir;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
⁶ Of ^(F)oaks from Bashan they made your oars;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from ^(G)the coasts of ^[c]Cyprus.
⁷ Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.

⁸ “Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
They became your pilots.
⁹ Elders of ^(H)Gebal and its wise men
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.

¹⁰ “Those from Persia, ^[d]Lydia, and ^[e]Libya
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
¹¹ Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made ^(I)your beauty perfect.

²⁵ “The ^(V)ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise.
You were filled and very glorious ^(W)in the midst of the seas.
²⁶ Your oarsmen brought you into many waters,
But ^(X)the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.

²⁷ “Your ^(Y)riches, wares, and merchandise,
Your mariners and pilots,
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
All your men of war who are in you,
And the entire company which is in your midst,
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
²⁸ The ^(Z)common-land^[g] will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

²⁹ “All ^(AA)who handle the oar,
The mariners,
All the pilots of the sea
Will come down from their ships and stand on the ^[h]shore.
³⁰ They will make their voice heard because of you;
They will cry bitterly and ^(AB)cast dust on their heads;
They ^(AC)will roll about in ashes;
³¹ They will ^(AD)shave themselves completely bald because of you,
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
And weep for you
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
³² In their wailing for you
They will ^(AE)take up a lamentation,
And lament for you:
^(AF)‘What city is like Tyre,
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

³³ ‘When^(AG) your wares went out by sea,
You satisfied many people;
You enriched the kings of the earth
With your many luxury goods and your merchandise.
³⁴ But ^(AH)you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;
^(AI)Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.
^35 (AJ)All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;
Their kings will be greatly afraid,
And their countenance will be troubled.
³⁶ The merchants among the peoples ^(AK)will hiss at you;
^(AL)You will become a horror, and be no ^(AM)more forever.’ ” ’ ”
