And the word of the Lord was made to me, and he said,
2
Therefore thou, son of man, take wailing on Tyre. (And so thou, son of man, take up a wailing for Tyre.)
3
And thou shalt say to Tyre, that dwelleth in the entering of the sea, to the (selling of) merchandise of peoples to many isles, The Lord God saith these things, O! Tyre, thou saidest, I am of perfect fairness, (And thou shalt say to Tyre, that dwelleth at the entrance to the sea, for the selling of the merchandise of the nations to many islands, The Lord God saith these things, O! Tyre, thou saidest, I am of great beauty,)
4
and I am set in the heart of the sea. They that be in thy coasts that builded thee, [ful]filled thy fairness;
5
they builded thee with fir trees of Senir, with all works of boards of the sea; they took a cedar of the Lebanon, to make a mast to thee (they took a cedar from Lebanon, to make a mast for thee).
