2. `And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre:
3. O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou--thou hast said: I [am] the perfection of beauty.
4. In the heart of the seas [are] thy borders, Thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
