Ἰεζεκιήλ 27
1 καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρός με λέγων
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου λαβὲ ἐπὶ Σορ θρῆνον
“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre.
3 καὶ ἐρεῖς τῇ Σορ τῇ κατοικούσῃ ἐπὶ τῆς εἰσόδου τῆς θαλάσσης τῷ ἐμπορίῳ τῶν λαῶν ἀπὸ νήσων πολλῶν τάδε λέγει κύριος τῇ Σορ σὺ εἶπας ἐγὼ περιέθηκα ἐμαυτῇ κάλλος μου
Tell Tyre, the city that stands at the gateway to the sea, supplying goods to many overseas nations, that this is what the Lord God says: Tyre, you say to yourself, ‘I'm so beautiful!’
