1. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
2. “Human being, sing a funeral song for the city of Tyre.
3. Speak to Tyre that is at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. For the people of many lands along the seacoast, Tyre is a place for trade. ‘This is what the Lord God says:Tyre, you have said,“I am like a beautiful ship.”
4. You were at home on the high seas.Your builders have made your beauty perfect.
5. Your builders made all your boardsof fir trees from Mount Hermon.They have taken a cedar tree from Lebanon.They took it to make a ship’s mast for you.
