RF EZE 27:1 The command of the Ever Living came again to me to say:—
RF EZE 27:2 "You, yourself, also, Son of Adam, raise a lament over Tzur, and say to Tzur,
RF EZE 27:3 Lamentation over Tyre.
"You, who reside at the ports of the sea,—
Who trade with the Peoples of numerous isles,
Thus says the Almighty Jehovah to Tzur,
You boast—'I am perfect in beauty!'
RF EZE 27:4 Your bounds are the heart of the ocean,
Your builders have finished your charms!
RF EZE 27:5 "They built you with cypress from Senir,
For your decks they used Lebanon cedar,
And they took it to form your high masts,—
RF EZE 27:6 Bashan's oak trees supplied you with oars,
Your benches were ivory and box from Kittim,
RF EZE 27:7 Your gay flag was fine linen of Egypt,
Your sails were rich purple from Elishah's Isles!1
RF EZE 27:8 "Your sailors were peoples from Zidon and Arvad,
Your Pilots were skilful;—they came, Tzur, from you;
RF EZE 27:9 The skill and the science of Ghebel were yours,
Constructing and building your ships for the sea,
And their sailors were with you to go on your voyage.
RF EZE 27:10 "Fars, Lud, and Fut were your troops,
Your soldiers with shield and with helm;
Which they hung in you, to add to your pride!
RF EZE 27:11 And as troops round your walls were the sons of Arvad,
And brave fellows they were on your towers,
Who hung up their shields round your walls,
And perfected your charms!
RF EZE 27:12 "You traded with Tharshish for all kinds of wealth,
For silver, for iron, for tin, and for lead;
They purchased your mercantile wares.
RF EZE 27:13 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech all traded with you,
Giving bodies of men, and bronze goods for your stores.
RF EZE 27:14 The House of Togramah with horses and chargers,
And mules have all purchased your goods.

1 Note.—Ch. 27, v. 7. "Elishah Isles," name of a region. Was it the British Isles, whose woad purple dyes were celebrated of old, as we learn from the Roman and Greek poets and writers? The tint of woad is what we now call our Navy Blue, and was the colour of our National Flag of old, as it is still.—F.F.
RF EZE 27:15 "Sons of Dedan dealt with you, and many Isles traded,
Handing ebony, ivory, in change for your cash.
RF EZE 27:16 And Aram bought much of your factory products;—
With emeralds, and purple, and muslin, and lace,
And coral, and rubies, they paid for your wares.
RF EZE 27:17 Judah, and Israel's land were your dealers;
For fine wheat, and balms, and for honey and oil,—
And marbles, they purchased from you.
RF EZE 27:18 "Damask purchased much that you made,
With the rich wine of Helbon, and whitest of wooi.
RF EZE 27:19 Dan and Javan bought cloth in your markets;
They sold you wrought iron, and cassia and spices;
RF EZE 27:20 Dedan sold you rich saddles for riding;
RF EZE 27:21 The Arabs and princes of Kedar dealt with you,—
Lambs, sheep, and fine goats were their goods.
RF EZE 27:22 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were traders,
With the best of all spices, and all precious gems,
And gold which they paid for your wares.
RF EZE 27:23 "Haran, and Kanah, and Aden, with all Sheba's merchants,
And Ashur and Kilmad were trading,
RF EZE 27:24 They bought of you fine purple fabrics,
And laces, and braids of mixed hues,
And cables well twisted, and cedars they purchased.
RF EZE 27:25 "Ships of Tarshish transported your trade,
And extended your power in the heart of the seas.
RF EZE 27:26 But your sailors have brought you to breakers;
The eastern wind wrecks in the midst of the sea;
RF EZE 27:27 Your bullion, your cargoes, your merchants, and seamen,
And captains, constructors, shipbuilders and brokers,
With all the bold warriors about you,
With all those collected within you will fall,
In the depth of the sea on the day when you fall!
RF EZE 27:28 "At the sound of the shriek of your pilots,
The breakers will tremble;—
RF EZE 27:29 All who handle the ropes will descend from their ships,
The sea-captains and sailors will stand on the land,
RF EZE 27:30 And will send up their cries and will bitterly shriek,
Cast dust on their heads, and will roll on the sand-hills,
RF EZE 27:31 And strip themselves for you, and clothe them in sacks.
And weep with soul-anguish and bitterly grieve,
RF EZE 27:32 And raising their wail, they will chant over you,—
"'Oh! Who was like Tzur in the midst of the waters?
RF EZE 27:33 Many nations were fed by your trade on the seas!
By your great wealth and traffic the kingdoms grew rich.
RF EZE 27:34 Now the breakers have wrecked in the trough of the sea!
Your cargo and crew sink with you to its bed!
RF EZE 27:35 All dwelling in islands are stupefied at you!
And their monarchs quivering have terrified looks!
RF EZE 27:36 The mercantile nations scream at you in terror
' You were,'—but you never shall rise up again!'"
