¹ Yahweh spoke to me and said,

² “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre.

³ Say to Tyre, the city with ports on the Mediterranean Sea, merchant city for many peoples and many islands:

⁴ Your frontiers were on the high sea,

⁵ As if they were building a ship

⁶ They made your oars

⁷ Your sails and banners were of colorful

⁸ Your oarsmen were rulers[4] from the cities of Sidon and Arvad,

⁹ The elders and craftsmen of Byblos[5]

¹⁰ Your army was composed of warriors from Persia,[6] Lud,[7] and Libya.[8] By hanging their weapons on your deck,[9] they displayed your splendor.

¹¹ Soldiers from Arvad[10] and Helech manned your walls all around. Brave warriors[11] manned your watchtowers, hanging their shields all around your walls to make your beauty complete.’ ”

¹² “ ‘The people of Tarshish[12] traded with you because of your abundant resources of every kind. They imported your products and exported silver, iron, tin, and lead.

¹³ The Greeks[13] along with nations of Tubal[14] and Meshech[15] traded with you. They sold you slaves[16] and metal utensils.

¹⁴ The people of Beth Togarmah[17] traded for your goods, your war horses and work horses and mules.

¹⁵ The people of Rhodes[18] traded with you; many coastal lands were your special customers and paid you in ivory tusks and ebony wood.[19]

¹⁶ Edom[20] traded with you emeralds, purple cloth, embroidered work and fine linen, coral and rubies for your many fine manufactured goods.

¹⁷ Judah and the land of Israel also paid for your goods with the finest millet,[21] spices,[22] honey, olive oil, and balm.

¹⁸ Damascus traded with you, for quantities of your abundant resources of every kind, furnishing you with wine from Helbon[23] and unbleached wool,[24]

¹⁹ casks of wine from Izalla,[25] polished iron, cassia and calamus[26] in exchange for your goods.

²⁰ Dedan[27] traded with you in saddle blankets.[28]

²¹ Arabia and all the sheikhs of Kedar[29] were your clients,[30] selling sheep and goats to you.

²² Businessmen of Sheba[31] and Raamah[32] traded with you the finest spices, precious stones, and gold.

²⁴ In your marketplace they sold you gorgeous embroidered clothing, purple cloaks, multi-colored carpets, and well-made cords for your merchandise.’ ”

²⁵ “ ‘Heavily loaded Spanish ships[38]

²⁶ Your oarsmen rowed you

²⁷ On the day of your shipwreck,

²⁸ When they hear the shouts of your drowning sailors,

²⁹ All the oarsmen will abandon ship;

³⁰ They will wail aloud over you

³¹ They will shave their heads in sorrow for you

³² Grieving, they will chant a funeral song for you,

³³ When you exported your goods

³⁴ Now you are broken to pieces by the waves;

³⁵ Those who dwell on the coast and the islands

³⁶ Your trading partners hiss at you in scorn,
