Ezekiel 27
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Du, Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over Tyrus
“You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
3 og sig til Tyrus, som ligger ved Adgangen til Havet og driver Handel med Folkeslagene paa de mange fjerne Strande: Saa siger den Herre HERREN: Tyrus, du siger: »Fuldendt i Skønhed er jeg!«
And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am of perfect beauty,
