Ezekiel 27:22-36 ▼

22 The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you in the choicest of all spice, and in every of precious stone, and gold—they gave for your wares.

23 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, were traders of Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad traded with you;

24 they traded with you—in fine, garments of blue, embroidered work, rugs and multicolored, with cords tightly twisted and knotted—for your marketplace.

25 The ships of Tarshish were the transporters of your merchandise, and you were full and very heavy in the midst of the seas.

26 Into many waters they have brought you, those rowing for you; a wind from the east has broken you in the midst of the seas.

27 Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, the repairers of your breaches, and those offering your merchandise, and all your men of war who are in you, and all your assembled force which is in your midst, will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your downfall!

28 At the sound of the cry of your sailors the common lands will shake,

29 and they will come down from their ships—all those handling the oar, the mariners and all the sailors of the sea will stand at the shore.

30 And they will make heard over you their voice, and they will cry out bitterly, and they will bring up dust upon their heads; they will roll about in ashes.

31 And they will shave themselves bald because of you, and they will gird themselves with sackcloth and weep for you with bitterness of heart—bitter wailing.

32 And they will lift up a lamentation for you in their wailing, and they will lament over you: ‘Who was like Tyre, silenced in the midst of the sea?

33 In the going forth of your wares from the sea, you satisfied many people; with the abundance of your wealth and your merchandise, you enriched the kings of the earth.

34 In time you are broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.

35 All those dwelling in the coasts are appalled over you, and their kings bristle with bristling; the faces trembled.

36 The traders among the nations hiss at you; you have become a horror, and you will be no more, even to forever!’”
