יחזקאל 27

1 וַיְהִי דְבַר־יְהוָה אֵלַי לֵאמֹֽר׃

And the word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 וְאַתָּה בֶן־אָדָם שָׂא עַל־צֹר קִינָֽה׃

And you, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;

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

and you shall say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus says the Lord to Sor; You have said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.

4 בְּלֵב יַמִּים גְּבוּלָיִךְ בֹּנַיִךְ כָּלְלוּ יָפְיֵֽךְ׃

In the heart of the sea your sons have put beauty upon you for Beelim.

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

Cedar in Senir was employed for you in building: boards of cypress timber were taken out of Libanus, and wood to make you masts of fir.

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

7 שֵׁשׁ־בְּרִקְמָה מִמִּצְרַיִם הָיָה מִפְרָשֵׂךְ לִהְיוֹת לָךְ לְנֵס תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן מֵאִיֵּי אֱלִישָׁה הָיָה מְכַסֵּֽךְ׃
