1 the Lord’s word came again to me, saying,
2 “You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;
3 and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, thus says the Lord GOD:“You, Tyre, have said,‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas.Your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They have made all your planks of cypress trees from Senir.They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 They have made your oars of the oaks of Bashan.They have made your benches of ivory inlaid in boxwood from the islands of Kittim.
7 Your sail was of fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt,that it might be to you for a banner.Blue and purple from the islands of Elishah was your awning.
