Ezekiel 以西结书27

27The word of the LORD came to me:
2"Son of man, take up a lament¹ concerning Tyre.
3Say to Tyre, situated² at the gateway³ to the sea, merchant of peoples on many coasts, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: " 'You say, O Tyre, "I am perfect in beauty."
4Your domain⁴ was on the high seas; your builders brought your beauty to perfection.
5They made all your timbers of pine trees from Senir ; they took a cedar⁵ from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars⁶; of cypress⁷ wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.
7Fine embroidered⁸ linen⁹ from Egypt was your sail and served as your banner; your awnings¹⁰ were of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah.
8Men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; your skilled men, O Tyre, were aboard as your seamen¹¹.
9Veteran craftsmen¹² of Gebal were on board as shipwrights¹³ to caulk¹⁴ your seams. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to trade for your wares¹⁵.
10" 'Men of Persia, Lydia and Put served as soldiers in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls, bringing you splendor¹⁶.
11Men of Arvad and Helech manned your walls on every side; men of Gammad were in your towers. They hung their shields around your walls; they brought your beauty to perfection.
12" 'Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.
13" 'Greece, Tubal and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged slaves and articles of bronze for your wares.
14" 'Men of Beth Togarmah exchanged work horses, war horses and mules¹⁷ for your merchandise.
15" 'The men of Rhodes traded with you, and many coastlands were your customers; they paid you with ivory tusks¹⁸ and ebony.
16" 'Aram did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise¹⁹, purple fabric²⁰, embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies²¹ for your merchandise.
17" 'Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat from Minnith and confections, honey, oil and balm for your wares.
18" 'Damascus, because of your many products and great wealth of goods, did business with you in wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar.
19" 'Danites and Greeks from Uzal bought your merchandise; they exchanged wrought²² iron, cassia and calamus for your wares.
20" 'Dedan traded in saddle blankets with you.
21" 'Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams²³ and goats.
22" 'The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices and precious stones, and gold.
23" 'Haran, Canneh and Eden and merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad traded with you.
24In 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 serve as carriers for your wares. You are filled with heavy cargo²⁴ in the heart of the sea.
26Your oarsmen take you out to the high seas. But the east wind will break you to pieces in the heart of the sea.
27Your wealth, merchandise and wares, your mariners²⁵, seamen and shipwrights, your merchants and all your soldiers, and everyone else on board will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your shipwreck²⁶.
28The shorelands will quake when your seamen cry out.
29All who handle the oars will abandon their ships; the mariners and all the seamen will stand on the shore.
30They will raise their voice and cry bitterly over you; they will sprinkle dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
31They will shave their heads because of you and will put on sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish²⁷ of soul and with bitter mourning.
32As they wail²⁸ and mourn over you, they will take up a lament concerning you: "Who was ever silenced like Tyre, surrounded by the sea?"
33When your merchandise went out on the seas, you satisfied many nations; with your great wealth and your wares you enriched the kings of the earth.
34Now you are shattered by the sea in the depths of the waters; your wares and all your company have gone down with you.
35All who live in the coastlands are appalled²⁹ at you; their kings shudder³⁰ with horror and their faces are distorted with fear.
36The merchants among the nations hiss³¹ at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.' "
