Chapter 27
1Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2And you, son of man, take up a song of mourning over Tyre;
3and say to Tyre, who sits at the entrance to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘This is what the Lord God says: 'Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.
5They have made all your planks of juniper trees from Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6Of oaks from Bashan they have made your rudders; With ivory they have inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of Cyprus.
7Your sail was of colorfully embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your flag; Your awning was violet and purple from the coastlands of Elishah.
8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; Your wise men, Tyre, were aboard; they were your sailors.
9The elders of Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your leaks; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.
