1. The Lord’s word came to me:
2. You, human one, sing a lament for Tyre.
3. Say this about Tyre, who sits enthroned at the entrance to the sea, the people’s agent for trade throughout the coastlands. The Lord God proclaims:Tyre, you say,"I’m perfectly beautiful!"
4. But your territory is in the depths of the sea,and it’s your builders who made you beautiful.
