Ezekiel 27 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Lament over Tyre

1 Moreover, the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068 came ^H1961 to me saying ^H559,

2 “Now as for you, son ^H1121 of man ^H120, take ^H5375 up ^H5375 a lamentation ^H7015 over ^H5921 Tyre ^H6865 3 and say ^H559 to Tyre ^H6865, who inhabits ^H3427 the [fn]entrance ^H3996 to the sea ^H3220, a trader ^H7402 of the peoples ^H5971 to many ^H7227 coastlands ^H339, ‘Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068,

“O Tyre ^H6865, you have said ^H559, ‘I am perfect ^H3632 in beauty ^H3308.’

4 “Your borders ^H1366 are in the heart ^H3820 of the seas ^H3220;

Your builders ^H1129 have perfected ^H3634 your beauty ^H3308.

5 “They have [fn]made ^H1129 all ^H3605 your planks ^H3871 of fir ^H1265 trees ^H1265 from Senir ^H8149;

They have taken ^H3947 a cedar ^H730 from Lebanon ^H3844 to make ^H6213 a mast ^H8650 for you.

6 “Of oaks ^H437 from Bashan ^H1316 they have made ^H6213 your oars ^H4880;

With ivory ^H8127 they have [fn]inlaid ^H6213 your deck ^H7175 of boxwood ^H839 from the coastlands ^H339 of Cyprus ^H3794.

7 “Your [fn]sail ^H4666 was of fine ^H8336 embroidered ^H7553 linen ^H8336 from Egypt ^H4714

So that it became ^H1961 your [fn]standard ^H5251;

Your [fn]awning ^H4374 was [fn]blue ^H8504 and purple ^H713 from the coastlands ^H339 of Elishah ^H473.

8 “The inhabitants ^H3427 of Sidon ^H6721 and Arvad ^H719 were your rowers ^H7751;

Your wise ^H2450 men ^H2450, O Tyre ^H6865, were [fn]aboard; they were your pilots ^H2259.

9 “The elders ^H2205 of Gebal ^H1380 and her wise ^H2450 men ^H2450 were with you repairing ^H2388 your seams ^H919;

All ^H3605 the ships ^H591 of the sea ^H3220 and their sailors ^H4419 were with you in order to deal ^H6148 in ^H6148 your merchandise ^H4627.

10 “Persia ^H6539 and Lud ^H3865 and Put ^H6316 were in your military ^H2428 force ^H2428, your men ^H376 of war ^H4421. They hung ^H8518 shield ^H4043 and helmet ^H3553 in you; they set ^H5414 forth your majesty ^H1926. 11 The sons ^H1121 of Arvad ^H719 and your military ^H2428 force ^H2428 were on your walls ^H2346, all around ^H5439, and the [fn]Gammadim ^H1575 were in your towers ^H4026. They hung ^H8518 their small ^H7982 shields ^H7982 on your walls ^H2346 all around ^H5439; they perfected ^H3634 your beauty ^H3308.

12 “Tarshish ^H8659 was your customer ^H5503 because ^H4480 of the abundance ^H7230 of all ^H3605 kinds of wealth ^H1952; with silver ^H3701, iron ^H1270, tin ^H913, and lead ^H5777 they paid ^H5414 for your wares ^H5801. 13 Javan ^H3120, Tubal ^H8422, and Meshech ^H4902, they were your traders ^H7402; with the lives ^H5315 of men ^H120 and vessels ^H3627 of bronze ^H5178 they paid ^H5414 for your merchandise ^H4627. 14 Those from Beth-togarmah ^H1004 H8425 gave ^H5414 horses ^H5483 and war ^H6571 horses ^H6571 and mules ^H6505 for your wares ^H5801. 15 The sons ^H1121 of Dedan ^H1719 were your traders ^H7402. Many ^H7227 coastlands ^H339 were [fn]customers ^H5506 at your hand ^H3027; ivory ^H8127 tusks ^H7161 and ebony ^H1894 they brought ^H7725 as your payment ^H814. 16 Aram ^H758 was your customer ^H5503 because ^H4480 of the abundance ^H7230 of your [fn]goods ^H4639; they paid ^H5414 for your wares ^H5801 with emeralds ^H5306, purple ^H713, embroidered ^H7553 work ^H7553, fine ^H948 linen ^H948, coral ^H7215, and rubies ^H3539. 17 Judah ^H3063 and the land ^H776 of Israel ^H3478, they were your traders ^H7402; with the wheat ^H2406 of Minnith ^H4511, [fn]cakes ^H6436, honey ^H1706, oil ^H8081, and balm ^H6875 they paid ^H5414 for your merchandise ^H4627. 18 Damascus ^H1834 was your customer ^H5503 because of the abundance ^H7230 of your [fn]goods ^H4639, because ^H4480 of the abundance ^H7230 of all ^H3605 kinds of wealth ^H1952, because of the wine ^H3196 of Helbon ^H2463 and white ^H6713 wool ^H6785. 19 Also Vedan ^H2051 and Javan ^H3120 paid ^H5414 for your wares ^H5801 [fn]from Uzal ^H187; wrought ^H6219 iron ^H1270, cassia ^H6916, and [fn]sweet ^H7070 cane ^H7070 were among your merchandise ^H4627. 20 Dedan ^H1719 traded ^H7402 with you in saddlecloths ^H2667 H899 for riding ^H7396. 21 Arabia ^H6152 and all ^H3605 the princes ^H5387 of Kedar ^H6938, they were [fn]customers ^H5503 at your hand ^H3027 for lambs ^H3733, rams ^H352, and goats ^H6260; for these, they were your customers ^H5503. 22 The traders ^H7402 of Sheba ^H7614 and Raamah ^H7484, they traded ^H7402 with you; they paid ^H5414 for your wares ^H5801 with the best ^H7218 of all ^H3605 kinds of spices ^H1314 and with all ^H3605 kinds of precious ^H3368 stones ^H68 and gold ^H2091. 23 Haran ^H2771, Canneh ^H3656, Eden ^H5729, the traders ^H7402 of Sheba ^H7614, Asshur ^H804, and Chilmad ^H3638 traded ^H7402 with you. 24 They traded ^H7402 with you in choice ^H4360 garments ^H4360, in clothes ^H1545 of [fn]blue ^H8504 and embroidered ^H7553 work ^H7553, and in carpets ^H1595 of many ^H1264 colors ^H1264 and tightly ^H729 wound ^H2280 cords ^H2256, which were among your merchandise ^H4819. 25 The ships ^H591 of Tarshish ^H8659 were [fn]the carriers ^H7788 for your merchandise ^H4627.

And you were filled ^H4390 and were ^H3513 very ^H3966 [fn]glorious ^H3513

In the heart ^H3820 of the seas ^H3220.

26 “Your rowers ^H7751 have brought ^H935 you

Into great ^H7227 waters ^H4325;

The east ^H6921 wind ^H7307 has broken ^H7665 you

In the heart ^H3820 of the seas ^H3220.

27 “Your wealth ^H1952, your wares ^H5801, your merchandise ^H4627,

Your sailors ^H4419 and your pilots ^H2259,

Your repairers ^H2388 of seams ^H919, your dealers ^H6148 in merchandise ^H4627,

And all ^H3605 your men ^H376 of war ^H4421 who ^H834 are in you,

With all ^H3605 your assembly ^H6951 that is in your midst ^H8432,

Will fall ^H5307 into the heart ^H3820 of the seas ^H3220

On the day ^H3117 of your downfall ^H4658.

28 “At the sound ^H6963 of the cry ^H2201 of your pilots ^H2259

The pasture ^H4054 lands ^H4054 will shake ^H7493.

29 “All ^H3605 who handle ^H8610 the oar ^H4880,

The sailors ^H4419 and all ^H3605 the pilots ^H2259 of the sea ^H3220,

Will come ^H3381 down ^H3381 from their ships ^H591;

They will stand ^H5975 on the land ^H776,

30 And they will make ^H8085 their voice ^H6963 heard ^H8085 over ^H5921 you

And will cry ^H2199 bitterly ^H4751.

They will cast ^H5927 dust ^H6083 on their heads ^H7218;

They will wallow ^H6428 in ashes ^H665.

31 “Also they will make ^H7139 themselves bald ^H7139 H7144 for you

And gird ^H2296 themselves with sackcloth ^H8242;

And they will weep ^H1058 for you in bitterness ^H4751 of soul ^H5315

With bitter ^H4751 mourning ^H4553.

32 “Moreover, in their wailing ^H5092 they will take ^H5375 up ^H5375 a lamentation ^H7015 for you

And lament ^H6969 over ^H5921 you:

‘Who ^H4310 is like Tyre ^H6865,

Like her who ^H1822 is ^H1822 silent ^H1822 in the midst ^H8432 of the sea ^H3220?

33 ‘When your wares ^H5801 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 from the seas ^H3220,

You satisfied ^H7646 a great ^H7227 number of peoples ^H5971;

With the greatness ^H7230 of your wealth ^H1952 and your merchandise ^H4627

You enriched ^H6238 the kings ^H4428 of earth ^H776.

34 ‘[fn]Now ^H6256 that you are broken ^H7665 by the seas ^H3220

In the depths ^H4615 of the waters ^H4325,

Your merchandise ^H4627 and all ^H3605 your assembly ^H6951

Have fallen ^H5307 in the midst ^H8432 of you.

35 ‘All ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 of the coastlands ^H339

Are ^H8074 appalled ^H8074 at you,

And their kings ^H4428 are horribly ^H8178 horrified ^H8175;

They are ^H7481 troubled ^H7481 in countenance ^H6440.

36 ‘The merchants ^H5503 among the peoples ^H5971 hiss ^H8319 at you;

You have become ^H1961 [fn]terrified ^H1091,

And you will cease ^H369 to be forever ^H5704 H5769.’”’”
