Son of man, raise a lamentation for Tyre. And say to Tyre, you who sit at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many islands: Thus says the LORD GOD—You have said, 'I am of perfect beauty.'

In the heart of the seas are your bounds; your builders perfected your beauty.

From Senir came timbers to make all your planking; cedars from Lebanon they took to make your masts.

Oaks of Bashan were your oars; your deck was made of ivory from the isles of Chittim.

At the sound of the cry of your pilots the coasts will be shaken. And they shall come down from their ships—every pilot of the oar, every sailor of the sea—they shall stand upon the land.
