Ezekiel 27
1 HERRENS Ord kom til mig saaledes:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 Du, Menneskesøn, istem en Klagesang over Tyrus
'And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation for 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 say unto Tyre, that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples unto many isles: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O Tyre, hast said: I am of perfect beauty.
4 De bygged dig midt i Havet, fuldendte din Skønhed.
