1 The word of the Lord came to me again. He said,
2 “Son of man, sing this sad song about Tyre.
3 Say this about Tyre: ‘Tyre, you are the door to the seas. You are the merchant for many nations. You travel to many countries along the coast. This is what the Lord GOD says: “Tyre, you think that you are so beautiful. You think you are perfectly beautiful!
4 The Mediterranean Sea is the border around your city. Your builders made you perfectly beautiful, like the ships that sail from you.
5 Your builders used cypress trees from the mountains of Senir to make your planks. They used cedar trees from Lebanon to make your mast.
6 They used oak trees from Bashan to make your oars. They used pine trees from Cyprus to make the cabin on your deck. They decorated that shelter with ivory.
