יחזקאל 27

1 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃

A message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם שָׂא עַל־צֹר קִינָֽה׃

“Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre.

3 וְאָמַרְתָּ לְצוֹר הישבתי הַיֹּשֶׁבֶת עַל־מְבוֹאֹת יָם רֹכֶלֶת הָֽעַמִּים אֶל־אִיִּים רַבִּים כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה צוֹר אַתְּ אָמַרְתְּ אֲנִי כְּלִילַת יֹֽפִי׃

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!’

4 בְּלֵב יַמִּים גְּבוּלָיִךְ בֹּנַיִךְ כָּלְלוּ יָפְיֵֽךְ׃

Your borders extend far across the sea. Your builders put you together perfectly like a beautiful ship.

5 בְּרוֹשִׁים מִשְּׂנִיר בָּנוּ לָךְ אֵת כָּל־לֻֽחֹתָיִם אֶרֶז מִלְּבָנוֹן לָקָחוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת תֹּרֶן עָלָֽיִךְ׃

They built you with pine timber from Mount Hermon. They used a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.

6 אַלּוֹנִים מִבָּשָׁן עָשׂוּ מִשּׁוֹטָיִךְ קַרְשֵׁךְ עָֽשׂוּ־שֵׁן בַּת־אֲשֻׁרִים מֵאִיֵּי כתים כִּתִּיִּֽים׃

They made your oars with oaks from Bashan. They had wood from the island of Cyprus brought to make your deck and inlaid it with ivory.

Trade ships from Tarshish transported your goods. You were like a ship sailing the sea, filled with heavy cargo.
