Ezekiel 27:12-36
12 “‘Tarshish did business with you because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin and lead for your merchandise.
13 “‘Greece, Tubal and Meshech traded with you; they exchanged slaves and articles of bronze for your wares.
14 “‘Men of Beth Togarmah exchanged work horses, war horses and mules for your merchandise.
15 “‘The men of Rhodes traded with you, and many coastlands were your customers; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony.
16 “‘Aram did business with you because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise, purple fabric, embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies for your merchandise.
17 “‘Judah and Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat from Minnith and confections, honey, oil and balm for your wares.
18 “‘Damascus, because of your many products and great wealth of goods, did business with you in wine from Helbon and wool from Zahar.
19 “‘Danites and Greeks from Uzal bought your merchandise; they exchanged wrought iron, cassia and calamus for your wares.
20 “‘Dedan traded in saddle blankets with you.
21 “‘Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers; they did business with you in lambs, rams and goats.
22 “‘The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your merchandise they exchanged the finest of all kinds of spices and precious stones, and gold.
23 “‘Haran, Canneh and Eden and merchants of Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad traded with you.
24 In your marketplace they traded with you beautiful garments, blue fabric, embroidered work and multicolored rugs with cords twisted and tightly knotted.
25
“‘The ships of Tarshish serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
in the heart of the sea.
26
Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind will break you to pieces
in the heart of the sea.
27
Your wealth, merchandise and wares,
your mariners, seamen and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea
on the day of your shipwreck.
28
The shorelands will quake
when your seamen cry out.
29
All who handle the oars
will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the seamen
will stand on the shore.
30
They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust on their heads
and roll in ashes.
31
They will shave their heads because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.
32
As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?”
33
When your merchandise went out on the seas,
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34
Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.
35
All who live in the coastlands
are appalled at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.
36
The merchants among the nations hiss at you;
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.’”
