1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. "You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
3. And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, 'I am of perfect beauty,
4. for I have been positioned at the heart of the sea!' Your neighbors, who built you, have filled up your beauty.
5. They constructed you with spruce from Senir, with all the planks of the sea. They have taken cedars from Lebanon, so that they might make a mast for you.
