THE Word of Yahuah came again unto me, saying,
Now, son of A'dam, take up a lamentation for Tsor;
And say unto Tsor, O you that are situate at the entry of the sea, which are a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; O Tsor, you have said, I am of perfect beauty.
Your borders are in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your beauty.
They have made את all your ship boards of fir trees of Sheniyr: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for you.
Of the oaks of Bashan have they made your oars; the company of the Ashshuriym have made your benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Kittiym.
Fine linen with broidered work from Mitsrayim was that which you spread forth to be your sail; blue and purple from the isles of Eliyshah was that which covered you.
The inhabitants of Tsiydon and Arvad were your mariners: your wise men, O Tsor, that were in you, were your pilots.
The ancients of Geval and the wise men thereof were in you your calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you to occupy your merchandise.
They of Persia and of Ludiy and of Put were in your army, your men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in you; they set forth your comeliness.
The men of Arvad with your army were upon your walls round about, and the Gammadiym were in your towers: they hanged their shields upon your walls round about; they have made your beauty perfect.
Tarshiysh was your merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in your fairs.
Yavan, Tubal, and Meshek, they were your merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in your market.
They of the house of Togarmah traded in your fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
The men of Dedan were your merchants; many isles were the merchandise of your hand: they brought you for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
Aram was your merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of your making: they occupied in your fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agote.
Yahudah, and the land of Yashar'el, they were your merchants: they traded in your market wheat of Minniyth, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
Damascus was your merchant in the multitude of the wares of your making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Chelbon, and white wool.
Dan also and Yavan going to and fro occupied in your fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in your market.
Dedan was your merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
Arav, and all the princes of Qedar, they occupied with you in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they your merchants.
The merchants of Sheva and Ra`amah, they were your merchants: they occupied in your fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
Haran, and Kanneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheva, Ashshur, and Kilmad, were your merchants.
These were your 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 your merchandise.
The ships of Tarshiysh did sing of you in your market: and you were replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
Your rowers have brought you into great waters: the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas.
Your riches, and your fairs, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, your calkers, and the occupiers of your merchandise, and all your men of war, that are in you, and in all your company which is in the midst of you, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of your ruin.
The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
And shall cause their voice to be heard against you, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for you, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, What city is like Tsor, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many people; you did enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
In the time when you shall be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters your merchandise and all your company in the midst of you shall fall.
All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at you, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
The merchants among the people shall hiss at you; you shall be a terror, and never shall be anymore.
