Ezekiel 27:2-15
English Standard Version
Chapter 27
2"Now you, son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre, 3and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God: "O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders made perfect your beauty.
5They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6Of oaks of Bashan they made your oars; they made your deck of pines from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.
7 Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail, serving as your banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning.
8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you; they were your pilots.
9The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were in you, caulking your seams; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to barter for your wares.
10"Persia and Lud and Put were in your army as your men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.
11Men of Arvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made perfect your beauty.
12"Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your wares.
13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.
14From Beth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.
15The men of Dedan traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony.
