27:1Mourning song for Tsor

27Then Yahweh gave me another message: 2“Now you, humanity’s child, begin a funeral song about Tsor (Tyre), 3and tell Tsor (which is on a coastal island—merchants to peoples on many other islands) that the master Yahweh says this to you:

Tsor, you’ve said, ‘My beauty has reached perfection.’

4Your borders are surrounded by the ocean.

Your builders have perfected your beauty.[fn]

5They made all your planks with cypress from Mt. Hermon (Senir).

They got a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6They made your oars from the oak trees in Bashan.

They made your decks out of cypress wood from Cyprus, and overlaid them with ivory.

7Your sails were made from colourful linen from Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim) that served as your banner.

The colors of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah are used for the awning on your boat.

8Those who were living in Tsidon and Arvad were your rowers.

The wise men of Tsor were within you—they were your pilots.

9Experienced craftsmen from Geval sealed your seams.

All the ships and their sailors among you were carrying your merchandise for trade.

10Warriors from Persia, Lydia, and Libya were in your army.

They hung their shields and helmets within you.

They displayed your splendour.

11The men of Arvad and Helek in your army were on your walls surrounding you,

and the people from Gammad were in your towers.

They hung up their shields on your walls all around you.

They completed your beauty.

12Tarshish was a trading partner with you because of your abundant wealth of goods. They traded silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares. 13Yavan, Tubal, and Meshech traded slaves as well as bronze items for your merchandise. 14Beyt-Togarmah provided horses, stallions, and mules in exchange for your products. 15The men of Dedan (Rhodes Island) were your traders on many coasts. You sent the merchandise and they sent back ivory tusks and ebony wood as payment. 16Syria (Heb. Aram) was a dealer in your many productsthey provided emeralds, purple dye, coloured cloth, fine fabric, pearls, and rubies for your merchandise. 17Yehudah and Yisrael were trading with you. They provided wheat from Minnit, cakes, honey, oil, and balsam for your merchandise. 18Damascus was a trader of all your products, of all your enormous wealth, and of the wine from Helbon and the wool from Zahar.[fn] 19Dan and Yavan from Uzal provided you with merchandise of wrought iron, cinnamon, and fragrant calamus seeds which became merchandise for you. 20Dedan was your dealer in woven saddle blankets. 21Arabia and all the leaders of Kedar were traders with you—they provided you with lambs, rams and goats. 22Traders from Sheba and Ramah came to sell you the best of every spice and all kinds of precious gems—they traded gold for your goods. 23Haran, Kanneh, and Eden were traders with you, along with Sheba, Ashur, and Kilmad. 24Those were your traders in fancy robes of violet cloths with woven colours, and in blankets of multicoloured, embroidered, and well-woven cloth in your marketplaces. 25The ships of Tarshish were the transporters of your merchandise.

So you were filled up—heavily laden with cargo there in the heart of the seas.

26Your rowers have brought you into vast seas.

The east wind has wrecked you in the middle of them.

27Your wealth, merchandise, and trade goods,

your sailors, pilots, and ship-builders,

your traders of merchandise and all the men of war who are in you, and all your crew—

they will sink into the depths of the sea at the time of your destruction.

28The surroundings will shake

when they hear your pilot’s cry of distress.


29All the oarsmen will come down off their ships.

Mariners and all the pilots on the sea will stand on the land,

30then they’ll raise their voices towards you and will wail bitterly.

They’ll throw dust up onto their heads. They’ll roll around to get covered in ashes.[fn]
