|
“1 ¶ The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 2 Now, thou son of
man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus; 3 And say unto Tyrus, O thou that
art situate at the entry of the sea, [which art] a merchant of the
people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said,
I [am] of perfect beauty. 4 Thy borders [are] in the midst of the seas,
thy builders have perfected thy beauty. 5 They have made all thy [ship]
boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to
make masts for thee. 6 [Of] the oaks of Bashan have they made thine
oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory,
[brought] out of the isles of Chittim. 7 Fine linen with broidered work
from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and
purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee. 8 The
inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise [men], O
Tyrus, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots. 9 The ancients of Gebal and
the wise [men] thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the
sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise. 10 They
of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war:
they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy
comeliness. 11 The men of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy walls
round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their
shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
12 Tarshish [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all [kind
of] riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] thy merchants: they traded the
persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market. 14 They of the house
of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules. 15
The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were] the merchandise
of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present horns of ivory and
ebony. 16 Syria [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the
wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple,
and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate. 17 Judah, and
the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants: they traded in thy market
wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm. 18 Damascus
[was] thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the
multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool. 19 Dan
also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron,
cassia, and calamus, were in thy market. 20 Dedan [was] thy merchant in
precious clothes for chariots. 21 Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar,
they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these [were
they] thy merchants. 22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were]
thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and
with all precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the
merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were] thy merchants. 24
These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of things], in blue clothes,
and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and
made of cedar, among thy merchandise. 25 The ships of Tarshish did sing
of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious
in the midst of the seas.”
