두로의 몰락에 대한 탄식

“‘“Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for your merchandise.

“‘“They of the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, war horses, and mules.

“‘“The men of Dedan traded with you. Many islands were the market of your hand. They brought you horns of ivory and ebony in exchange.

“‘“Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks. They traded for your wares with emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies.

“‘“Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded wheat of Minnith, confections, honey, oil, and balm for your merchandise.

“‘“Damascus was your merchant for the multitude of your handiworks, by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.

“‘“Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for your wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus were among your merchandise.

“‘“Dedan was your trafficker in precious cloths for riding.

“‘“Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar were the merchants of your hand; in lambs, rams, and goats. In these, they were your merchants.

“‘“The traders of Sheba and Raamah were your traders. They traded for your wares with the chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.

“‘“Haran, Canneh, and Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad, were your traders.

These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of cedar, among your merchandise.

“‘“The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise. You were replenished and made very glorious in the heart of the seas.

Your rowers have brought you into great waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.

Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, your pilots, your repairers of ship seams, the dealers in your merchandise, and all your men of war, who are in you, with all your company which is among you, will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.

At the sound of the cry of your pilots, the suburbs will shake.

All who handle the oars, the mariners and all the pilots of the sea, will come down from their ships. They will stand on the land,

and will cause their voice to be heard over you, and will cry bitterly. They will cast up dust on their heads. They will wallow in the ashes.

They will make themselves bald for you, and clothe themselves with sackcloth. They will weep for you in bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.

In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you, and lament over you, saying, ‘Who is there like Tyre, like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea?’

When your wares went out of the seas, you filled many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.

In the time that you were broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell within you.

All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at you, and their kings are horribly afraid. They are troubled in their face.

The merchants among the peoples hiss at you. You have become a terror, and you will be no more.”’”
