< Yehezkiel 27 >
1 TUHAN Yang Mahatinggi berkata kepadaku, "Hai manusia fana, nyanyikanlah lagu penguburan ini bagi Tirus, kota pesisir yang berdagang dengan penduduk segala pantai: Tirus, dengan sombong engkau berkata, 'Kecantikanku sungguh sempurna!'
The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
“You, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre;
and tell Tyre, ‘You who dwell at the entry of the sea, who are the merchant of the peoples to many islands, the Lord GOD says: “You, Tyre, have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
