A Lamentation for Tyre
Ezekiel 27:1-4
1
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
2
`And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre:
3
O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou--thou hast said: I am the perfection of beauty.
4
In the heart of the seas are thy borders, Thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
