New Testament

Ezekiel 27:23-36 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

23. Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Sheba, Assyria, and Kilmad were trading with you.

24. They were trading with you in finery, in mantles of blue cloth and colorful embroidered work and with rugs of variegated cloth in twisted cords and knotted tightly; these were among your merchandise.

25. The ships of Tarshish were carrying for you your wares, and you were filled, and you became very heavy in the heart of the seas.

26. “ ‘Into many waters the rowers brought you; but the east wind wrecked you in the heart of the seas.

27. Your wealth and your merchandise, your wares, your mariners, and your seamen, your shipwrights and the barterers of your wares and all of your soldiers who are in you, along with all of your crew who are in the midst of you, they will fall in the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.

28. At the sound of the shout of your seamen, the pasturelands will shake.

29. And they will go down from their ships, all of those holding an oar, mariners, all of the seamen of the sea will stand on the land,

30. and they will lament over you with their voice, and they will cry out bitterly, and they will throw dust on their heads, and they will roll in the dust.

31. They will shave themselves bald for your sake, and they will dress themselves in sackcloth, and they will weep over you with a bitterness of soul and with bitter wailing.

32. And they will raise over you with their wailing a lament, and they will chant a lament over you: ‘Who is like Tyre, like this destruction in the midst of the sea?’

33. When your merchandise went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples with the abundance of your wealth, and by your wares you made rich the kings of the world.

34. Now you are broken by seas in the depths of waters; your wares and all of your crew in the midst of you have sunk.

35. All of the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled over you, and their kings shudder in horror; they distort their faces!

36. The traders among the peoples hiss over you; you have become a horror, and you shall be no more forever!’ ”
