Ezekiel 27  New International Version

“‘You say, Tyre,
    “I am perfect in beauty.^(D)”
⁴ Your domain was on the high seas;
    your builders brought your beauty to perfection.^(E)
5 They made all your timbers
    of juniper from Senir^[a];^(F)
they took a cedar from Lebanon^(G)
    to make a mast for you.
⁶ Of oaks^(H) from Bashan
    they made your oars;
of cypress wood^[b] from the coasts of Cyprus^(I)
    they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
⁷ Fine embroidered linen^(J) from Egypt was your sail
    and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple^(K)
    from the coasts of Elishah.^(L)
8 Men of Sidon and Arvad^(M) were your oarsmen;
    your skilled men, Tyre, were aboard as your sailors.^(N)
9 Veteran craftsmen of Byblos^(O) were on board
    as shipwrights to caulk your seams.
All the ships of the sea^(P) and their sailors
    came alongside to trade for your wares.

¹⁰ “‘Men of Persia,^(Q) Lydia^(R) and Put^(S)
    served as soldiers in your army.
They hung their shields^(T) and helmets on your walls,
    bringing you splendor.
¹¹ Men of Arvad and Helek
    guarded 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.^(U)

²⁵ “‘The ships of Tarshish^(AZ) serve
    as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
    as you sail the sea.^(BA)
26 Your oarsmen take you
    out to the high seas.
But the east wind^(BB) will break you to pieces
    far out at sea.
²⁷ Your wealth,^(BC) merchandise and wares,
    your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
    and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea^(BD)
    on the day of your shipwreck.
²⁸ The shorelands will quake^(BE)
    when your sailors cry out.
²⁹ All who handle the oars
    will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
    will stand on the shore.
³⁰ They will raise their voice
    and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust^(BF) on their heads
    and roll^(BG) in ashes.^(BH)
31 They will shave their heads^(BI) because of you
    and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep^(BJ) over you with anguish of soul
    and with bitter mourning.^(BK)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
    they will take up a lament^(BL) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
    surrounded by the sea?^(BM)”
³³ When your merchandise went out on the seas,^(BN)
    you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth^(BO) and your wares
    you enriched the kings of the earth.
³⁴ Now you are shattered by the sea
    in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
    have gone down with you.^(BP)
35 All who live in the coastlands^(BQ)
    are appalled^(BR) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
    and their faces are distorted with fear.^(BS)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;^(BT)
    you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.^(BU)’”
