為泰爾唱哀歌
1耶和華對我說： 2「人子啊，你要為泰爾唱哀歌， 3告訴位於海口、跟沿海各民族通商的泰爾，主耶和華這樣說，
『泰爾啊，
你曾誇耀自己完美無瑕。
4你的勢力在大海上，
你的建造者把你造得完美無瑕。
5他們用示尼珥的松木做你的船板，
用黎巴嫩的香柏木做桅杆，
6用巴珊的橡木做你的槳，
把象牙鑲嵌在基提沿岸的黃楊木上做甲板，
7用埃及來的繡花細麻布做你的帆，
成為你的旗號，
用伊利沙島來的藍布和紫布做船篷。
8西頓和亞發的居民是你的船夫，
你的智者在船上為你掌舵。
9迦巴勒的老手和智者在船上為你修補船篷，
所有海洋的船隻和水手都來與你做生意。
10「『你軍隊中的戰士有波斯人、路德人、弗人，他們在你的牆上掛起盾牌和頭盔，展示你的光彩。 11亞發人和你的軍隊都守衛在你的城牆上，歌瑪底人把守你的城樓，他們都在牆上掛滿盾牌，使你完美無瑕。
12「『他施人因你有豐富的貨物，就拿銀、鐵、錫、鉛來跟你交易。 13雅完人、土巴人、米設人也跟你通商，用奴隸和銅器來換取你的貨物。 14陀迦瑪人用馬匹、戰馬和騾子來跟你交易。 15底但人也是你的客商，你的市場遠及沿海一帶，他們拿象牙、烏木來跟你交易。 16因為你的貨物豐富，亞蘭人也成了你的客戶，他們用綠寶石、紫布、刺繡、細麻布、珊瑚和紅寶石與你交換貨物。 17猶大和以色列也是你的客商，他們用米匿的麥、餅、蜜、油和香料與你交換貨物。 18大馬士革見你的貨物豐富，就用黑本的酒和沙哈的羊毛來跟你交易。 19從烏薩來的威但人和雅完人用鐵、肉桂、菖蒲與你交換貨物。 20底但人用馬鞍墊來跟你交易。 21阿拉伯人和基達的所有首領都來做你的客商，他們用羊羔、綿羊和山羊來跟你交易。 22示巴和拉瑪的商人用各類上等香料、寶石和黃金交換你的貨物。 23哈蘭、幹尼、伊甸、示巴、亞述和基抹的商人都來跟你交易， 24他們把華麗衣服、藍布、刺繡和彩色地毯捆紮結實，拿來跟你交易。
25『他施的船隻替你運貨，
你在海上載滿沉甸甸的貨物。
26船夫把你搖到汪洋之中，
但東風要把你擊碎在海中。
27你的財富、貨物、商品、
水手、舵手、縫匠、客商、
戰士和人民在你傾覆的日子都要沉到深海裡。
28你舵手的哀號聲必震動海岸，
29所有的船夫、水手、舵手都必棄船登岸，
30為你放聲痛哭，
把塵埃撒在頭上，
在灰中打滾，
31又為你剃頭披麻，
悲痛哀傷。
32他們在痛哭中為你唱起哀歌，
哀悼你說，
有哪一座城像泰爾一樣在深海中銷聲匿跡呢？
33你的貨物由海上運出，
滿足了許多國家；
你的資財和貨物使地上的君王富裕。
34然而，如今你在汪洋中被海浪擊碎，
你的貨物和人民都一同沉沒了。
35沿海的居民因你而驚駭，
君王都嚇得面容失色。
36各國商人都嗤笑你，
你那可怕的末日來臨了，
你將永遠不復存在。』」
