1 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,
2 "Son of man, sing a song of sadness about Tyre.
3 It is located at the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea. It does business with nations on many coasts. Say to it, 'The Lord and King says, " ' "Tyre, you say, 'I am perfect and beautiful.'
4 You were like a ship that ruled over the high seas. Your builders made you perfect and beautiful.
5 They cut all of your lumber from pine trees on Mount Hermon. They used a cedar tree from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 They made your oars out of oak trees from Bashan. They made your deck out of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus. They decorated it with ivory.
