Then they will take up a lament concerning you and say to you:“‘ How you are destroyed, city of renown, peopled by men of the sea! You were a power on the seas, you and your citizens; you put your terror on all who lived there.

Shining morning star, how you have fallen from the heavens! You destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground.

“ As for you, take up a lament for the princes of Israel,

How the mighty have fallen in the thick of battle! Jonathan lies slain on your heights.I grieve for you, Jonathan, my brother. You were such a friend to me. Your love for me was more wondrous than the love of women.How the mighty have fallen and the weapons of war have perished!

The kings of the earth who have committed sexual immorality and shared her sensual and excessive ways will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke from her burning.They will stand far off in fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour your judgment has come.

Be ashamed, Sidon, the stronghold of the sea, for the sea has spoken:“ I have not been in labor or given birth. I have not raised young men or brought up young women.”

“ Son of man, lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him,‘ You compare yourself to a lion of the nations, but you are like a monster in the seas. You thrash about in your rivers, churn up the waters with your feet, and muddy the rivers.

saying, Woe, woe, the great city, dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, adorned with gold, jewels, and pearls;for in a single hour such fabulous wealth was destroyed! And every shipmaster, seafarer, the sailors, and all who do business by sea, stood far offas they watched the smoke from her burning and kept crying out,“ Who was like the great city?”They threw dust on their heads and kept crying out, weeping, and mourning, Woe, woe, the great city, where all those who have ships on the sea became rich from her wealth; for in a single hour she was destroyed.

“‘ The daughters of the nations will chant that lament. They will chant it over Egypt and all its hordes. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”

“ Now, son of man, lament for Tyre.Say to Tyre, who is situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Tyre, you declared,“ I am perfect in beauty.”Your realm was in the heart of the sea; your builders perfected your beauty.They constructed all your planking with pine trees from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.They made your oars of oaks from Bashan. They made your deck of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.Your sail was made of fine embroidered linen from Egypt, and served as your banner. Your awning was of blue and purple fabric from the coasts of Elishah.The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your wise men were within you, Tyre; they were your captains.The elders of Gebal and its wise men were within you, repairing your leaks.“‘ All the ships of the sea and their sailors came to you to barter for your goods.Men of Persia, Lud, and Put were in your army, serving as your warriors. They hung shields and helmets in you; they gave you splendor.Men of Arvad and Helech were stationed on your walls all around, and Gammadites were in your towers. They hung their shields all around your walls; they perfected your beauty.“‘ Tarshish was your trading partner because of your abundant wealth of every kind. They exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise.Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants. They exchanged slaves and bronze utensils for your goods.Those from Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise.Men of Dedan were also your merchants; many coasts and islands were your regular markets. They brought back ivory tusks and ebony as your payment.Aram was your trading partner because of your numerous products. They exchanged turquoise, purple and embroidered cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your merchandise.Judah and the land of Israel were your merchants. They exchanged wheat from Minnith, meal, honey, oil, and balm, for your goods.Damascus was also your trading partner because of your numerous products and your abundant wealth of every kind, trading in wine from Helbon and white wool.Vedan and Javan from Uzal dealt in your merchandise; wrought iron, cassia, and aromatic cane were exchanged for your goods.Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats.The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you. For your merchandise they exchanged the best of all spices and all kinds of precious stones as well as gold.Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.Ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your goods.“‘ So you became full and heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.Your rowers have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the sea.Your wealth, merchandise, and goods, your sailors and captains, those who repair your leaks, those who barter for your goods, and all the warriors on board, with all the other people within you, sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.“‘ The countryside shakes at the sound of your sailors’ cries.All the oarsmen disembark from their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea stand on the shore.Because of you, they raise their voices and cry out bitterly. They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes.They shave their heads because of you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They weep over you with deep anguish and bitter mourning.“‘ In their wailing they lament for you, mourning over you:“ Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods.Now you are wrecked by the sea in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people within you have gone down.All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands are appalled at you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.Those who trade among the peoples scoff at you; you have become an object of horror and will never exist again.”’”

Fire has gone out from its main branch and has devoured its fruit, so that it no longer has a strong branch, a scepter for ruling. This is a lament and should be used as a lament.”

Who planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, whose traders are princes, whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth?

My dear people, dress yourselves in sackcloth and roll in the dust. Mourn as you would for an only son, a bitter lament, for suddenly the destroyer will come on us.

“ Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Your heart is proud, and you have said,“ I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.” Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.Yes, you are wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you!By your wisdom and understanding you have acquired wealth for yourself. You have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as that of a god,I am about to bring strangers against you, ruthless men from the nations. They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will pierce your splendor.They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the sea.Will you still say,“ I am a god,” in the presence of those who slay you? Yet you will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you.You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of strangers. For I have spoken. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”

The splendor of Israel lies slain on your heights. How the mighty have fallen!

Cut off the hair of your sacred vow and throw it away. Raise up a dirge on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned the generation under his wrath.’

The boundary then turned to Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre; it turned back to Hosah and ended at the Mediterranean Sea, including Mahalab, Achzib,

This is the jubilant city that lives in security, that says to herself: I exist, and there is no one else. What a desolation she has become, a place for wild animals to lie down! Everyone who passes by her scoffs and shakes his fist.

How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep and goats suffer punishment.

“ Son of man, lament for the king of Tyre and say to him,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone covered you: carnelian, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, lapis lazuli, turquoise and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold; they were prepared on the day you were created.You were an anointed guardian cherub, for I had appointed you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the fiery stones.From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways until wickedness was found in you.Through the abundance of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I expelled you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and banished you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.Your heart became proud because of your beauty; For the sake of your splendor you corrupted your wisdom. So I threw you down to the ground; I made you a spectacle before kings.You profaned your sanctuaries by the magnitude of your iniquities in your dishonest trade. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of everyone watching you.All those who know you among the peoples are appalled at you. You have become an object of horror and will never exist again.’”

How she sits alone, the city once crowded with people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow. The princess among the provinces has been put to forced labor.

In that day one will take up a taunt against you and lament mournfully, saying,“ We are totally ruined! He measures out the allotted land of my people. How he removes it from me! He allots our fields to traitors.”

Now hear the word of the LORD, you women. Pay attention to the words from his mouth. Teach your daughters a lament and one another a dirge,

If thieves came to you, if marauders by night— how ravaged you would be!— wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted? If grape harvesters came to you, wouldn’t they leave a few grapes?
