Ezekiel 27:22-35 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you. They exchanged gold, the best of all spices, and all kinds of precious stones for your merchandise.

23. Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.

24. They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.

25. Ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your goods.So you became full and heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.

26. Your rowers have brought youonto the high seas, but the east wind has shattered youin the heart of the sea.

27. Your wealth, merchandise, and goods,your sailors and captains,those who repair your leaks,those who barter for your goods,and all the warriors within you,with all the other people on board, sink into the heart of the seaon the day of your downfall.

28. The countryside shakesat the sound of your sailors’ cries.

29. All those who handle an oardisembark from their ships.The sailors and all the captains of the seastand on the shore.

30. They raise their voices over youand cry out bitterly.They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes.

31. They shave their heads because of youand wrap themselves in sackcloth.They weep over youwith deep anguish and bitter mourning.

32. In their wailing they lament for you, mourning over you:Who was like Tyre,silenced in the middle of the sea?

33. When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas,you satisfied many peoples.You enriched the kings of the earthwith your abundant wealth and goods.

34. Now you are shattered by the seain the depths of the waters;your goods and the people within youhave gone down.

35. All the inhabitants of the coasts and islandsare appalled at you.Their kings shudder with fear;their faces are contorted.
