18. The people of Damascus saw what you had to offer and brought you wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar.
19. Vedan and Javan near Uzal traded you iron and spices.
20. The people of Dedan supplied you with saddle blankets,
21. while people from Arabia and the rulers of Kedar traded lambs, sheep, and goats.
22. Merchants from Sheba and Raamah gave you excellent spices, precious stones, and gold in exchange for your products.
23. You also did business with merchants from the cities of Haran, Canneh, Eden, Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad,
24. and they gave you expensive clothing, purple and embroidered cloth, brightly-coloured rugs, and strong rope.
25. Large, seagoing ships carried your goods wherever they needed to go.You were like a shiploaded with heavy cargo
26. and sailing across the sea,but you were wreckedby strong eastern winds.
27. Everything on board was lost—your valuable cargo,your sailors and carpenters,merchants and soldiers.
28. The shouts of your drowning crewwere heard on the shore.
29. Every ship is deserted;rowers and sailors and captainsall stand on shore,
30. mourning for you.They show their sorrowby putting dust on their headsand rolling in ashes;
31. they shave their headsand dress in sackclothas they cry in despair.
32. In their grief they singa funeral song for you:“Tyre, you were greaterthan all other cities.But now you lie in silenceat the bottom of the sea.
33. “Nations that receivedyour merchandisewere always pleased;kings everywhere got richfrom your costly goods.
34. But now you are wreckedin the deep sea,with your cargo and crewscattered everywhere.
35. People living along the coastare shocked at the news.Their rulers are horrified,and terror is writtenacross their faces.
36. The merchants of the worldcan't believe what happened.Your death was gruesome,and you are gone for ever.”
