The Prophet bewaileth the desolation of Tyrus, shewing what were the riches, power and autoritie thereof in time past.

1 THe worde of the Lord came againe vn∣to me, saying,

2 Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation for Tyrus,

3 And say vnto Tyrus, that is situat at the en∣trie of the sea, whiche is the martea of the people for manie yles, Thus saith the Lord God, O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfite beautie.

4 Thy borders are in the” middes of the sea, (and) thy buylders haue made thee of per∣fite beautie.

5 Thei haue made al thy (ship) bordes of fyrre trees ofb Shenir: they haue broght cedres from Lebanōn, to make masts for thee.

6 Of the okes of Bashā haue thei made thine ores: the companie of the Assyrians haue made thy bankes of yuorie, (broght) out of the yles ofc Chittim.

7 Fine linen with broydred worke, (broght) from Egypt, was spred ouer thee to be thy saile, blewe silke & purple, (broght) from the yles of Elisháh, was thy couering.

8 The inhabitants of Zidōn, and Aruád were thy mariners, ô Tyrus: thy wise men that were in thee, thei were thy“ pilotes.

9 The ancients of Gebál, and the wise men thereof were in thee thyd calkers, all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupie thy marchandise.

10 Thei of Persia, and of Lud & of Phut were in thine armie: thy men of warre thei han∣ged the shielde and helmet in thee thei set forthe thy beautie.

11 The men of Aruád with thine armie (were) vppon thy walles rounde aboute, and thee Gammadims were in thy towers: thei hā∣ged their shields vppon thy walles rounde about: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 haue made thy beautie perfite.

12 They of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (were) thy marchants for the multitude of all riches, for siluer, yron,

tynne, and lead, (which) thei broght to thy faires.

13 Thei off Iauán, Tubál and Meshéch were thy marchants,g concerning the liues of men, and thei broght vessels of brasse for thy marchandise.

14 Thei of the house ofh To garmáh broght to thy faires horses, and horsmē, & mules.

15 The men of Dedán (were) thy marchants: and the marchandise of manie yles (were) in thine hands thei broght thee for a pre∣senti hornes, bones, teeth, and peacockes.

20 Thei of Dedán (were) thy marchants in precious clothes for the charets.

21 Thei of Arabia, and all the princes of Ke∣dár“ occupied with thee, in lambes, & rams & goats: in these were thei thy marchants.

23 Thei of Harám and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Edén, the marchants of Shebá, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (and) Chilmád were thy marchants.

24 These were thy marchāts in all sortes (of things,) in raimēt of blewe silke, & of broy∣dred worke, and in coffers for the riche ap∣parel, which were bound with cordes: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 also (were) among thy marchandise.

25 The shippes of Tarshish“ were thy chief in thy marchandise, & thou wast replenished & made very glorious in the middes of the sea.

26 Thy“ robbers haue broght thee into great waters thel East winde hath broken thee in the middes of the sea.

27 Thy riches and thy faires, thy marchandi∣se, thy mariners and pilotes, thy calkers, & the occupiers of thy marchandise and all thy men of warre that are in thee, and all thy multitude whiche is in the middes of thee, shal fall in the middes of the sea in the daie of thy ruine.

28 Them suburbes shall shake at the sounde of the crye of the pilotes.

29 And all that handle the ore, the mariners (and) all the pilotes of the sea shall come downe from their shippes, (and) shall stand vpon the land,

30 And shall cause theyr voyce to be heard a∣gainst thee, and shal crye bitterly, and shal cast dust vpon their heads, and wallowe thē selues in the asshes.

31 Thei shal plucke of their heere for thee & gyrde them with a sacke cloth, and they shal wepe for thee with sorowe of heart (&) bitter mourning.

32 And in their mourning thei shal take vp alamentacion for thee, (saying,) What (ci∣tie) is like Tyrus, so destroied in the middes of the seal

33 When thy wares went for the of the seas, thou filledst many people (&) thou didst en∣riche the Kings of the earth with the mul∣titude of thy riches & of thy marchandise.

34 Whē thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, thy marchandise & all thy multitude, which was in the mid∣des of thee, shal fall.

35 All the inhabitants of they les shalbe asto∣nished at thee, & all their Kings shal be sore afraied (&) troubled in their countenance.

36 The marchants among the people shall hisse at thee: thou shalt be a terrour, and ne∣uer shalt ben anie more.
