1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Son of man, take up a lament concerning Tyre.
3. Say to Tyre, situated at the gateway to the sea, merchant of peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “ ‘You say, Tyre, “I am perfect in beauty.”
4. Your domain was on the high seas; your builders brought your beauty to perfection.
5. They made all your timbers of juniper from Senir ; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6. Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
7. Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was your sail and served as your banner; your awnings were of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah.
