Ezekiel 27:1-27

Ezekiel 27:1-27

[1] The word  of the LORD  came again unto me, saying,  [2] Now, thou son  of man,  take up  a lamentation  for Tyrus;  [3] And say  unto Tyrus,  O thou that art situate  of the sea,  which art a merchant  of the people  for many  isles,  Thus saith  the Lord  O Tyrus,  thou hast said,  I am of perfect  beauty.  [4] Thy borders  are in the midst  of the seas,  thy builders  have perfected  thy beauty.  [5] They have made  all thy ship boards  of fir trees  of Senir:  they have taken  cedars  from Lebanon  to make  masts  for thee. [6] Of the oaks  of Bashan  have they made  thine oars;  the company  of the Ashurites  have made  thy benches  of ivory,  brought out of the isles  of Chittim.  [7] Fine linen  with broidered work  from Egypt  was that which thou spreadest forth  to be thy sail;  blue  and purple  from the isles  of Elishah  was that which covered  thee. [8] The inhabitants  of Zidon  and Arvad  were thy mariners:  thy wise  men, O Tyrus,  that were in thee, were thy pilots.  [9] The ancients  of Gebal  and the wise  men thereof were in thee thy calkers:  all the ships  of the sea  with their mariners  were in thee to occupy  thy merchandise.  [10] They of Persia  and of Lud  and of Phut  were in thine army,  of war:  they hanged  the shield  and helmet  in thee; they set forth  thy comeliness.  [11] The men  of Arvad  with thine army  were upon thy walls  round about,  and the Gammadims  were in thy towers:  they hanged  their shields  upon thy walls  round about;  thy beauty  perfect.  [12] Tarshish  was thy merchant  by reason of the multitude  of all kind of riches;  with silver,  iron,  tin,  and lead,  they traded  in thy fairs.  [13] Javan,  Tubal,  and Meshech,  they were thy merchants:  they traded  the persons  of men  and vessels  of brass  in thy market.  [14] They of the house  of Togarmah  traded  in thy fairs  with horses  and horsemen  and mules.  [15] The men  of Dedan  were thy merchants;  many  isles  were the merchandise  of thine hand:  they brought  thee for a present  horns  of ivory  and ebony.  [16] Syria  was thy merchant  by reason of the multitude  of the wares of thy making:  they occupied  in thy fairs  with emeralds,  purple,  and broidered work,  and fine linen,  and coral,  and agate.  [17] Judah,  and the land  of Israel,  they were thy merchants:  they traded  in thy market  wheat  of Minnith,  and Pannag,  and honey,  and oil,  and balm.  [18] Damascus  was thy merchant  in the multitude  of the wares of thy making,  for the multitude  of all riches;  in the wine  of Helbon,  and white  wool.  [19] also and Javan  going to and fro  occupied  in thy fairs:  bright  iron,  cassia,  and calamus,  were in thy market.  [20] Dedan  was thy merchant  in precious  clothes  for chariots.  [21] Arabia,  and all the princes  of Kedar,  with thee  in lambs,  and rams,  and goats:  in these were they thy merchants.  [22] The merchants  of Sheba  and Raamah,  they were thy merchants:  they occupied  in thy fairs  with chief  of all spices,  and with all precious  stones,  and gold.  [23] Haran,  and Canneh,  and Eden,  the merchants  of Sheba,  Asshur,  and Chilmad,  were thy merchants.  [24] These were thy merchants  in all sorts  of things, in blue  clothes,  and broidered work,  and in chests  of rich apparel,  bound  with cords,  and made of cedar,  among thy merchandise.  [25] The ships  of Tarshish  did sing  of thee in thy market:  and thou wast replenished,  and made very  glorious  in the midst  of the seas.  [26] Thy rowers  have brought  thee into great  waters:  the east  wind  hath broken  thee in the midst  of the seas.  [27] Thy riches,  and thy fairs,  thy merchandise,  thy mariners,  and thy pilots,  thy calkers,  and the occupiers  of thy merchandise,  of war,  that are in thee, and in all thy company  which is in the midst  of thee, shall fall  into the midst  of the seas  in the day  of thy ruin.
