A Lament for Tyre
27:1 The word of the Lord came to me:
27:2 “You , son of man , sing a lament for Tyre .
27:3 Say to Tyre , who sits at the entrance of the sea , merchant to the peoples on many coasts , ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says : “‘O Tyre , you have said , “I am perfectly beautiful .”
27:4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas ; your builders have perfected your beauty .
27:5 They crafted all your planks out of fir trees from Senir ; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast .
27:6 They made your oars from oaks of Bashan ; they made your deck with cypresses from the Kittean isles .
27:7 Fine linen from Egypt , woven with patterns , was used for your sail to serve as your banner ; blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah was used for your deck’s awning .
27:8 The leaders of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers ; your skilled men , O Tyre , were your captains .
