ISV(i)
18 “Because you have so much to sell and are so rich, Damascus has been your trading partner, exchanging wine from Helbon, unbleached wool,
19 and casks of wine from Izal for your wrought iron, cassia wood, and aromatic reeds.
20 “Dedan traded with you, exchanging riding blankets. 21 Arabia, including all the princes of Kedar, came to you, shopping for lambs, rams, and goats. 22 Traders from Sheba and Raamah paid for the best of what you had to offer with all types of spices, precious stones, and gold. 23 Haran, Canneh, Eden, merchants from Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad did business with you, 24 trading garments made into the finest blue and embroidered mantels, and also multi-colored carpets, ropes, and other merchandise. 25 Ocean-going fleets carried your merchandise.”
Tyre’s Coming Storm “How filled you were! How glorious you were, at home in the heart of the sea!
26 But your rowers have brought you into dangerous waters. The east wind has broken you in the heart of the ocean!
27 Your wealth, your products, your merchandise your sailors, your pilots, your tailors, your salesmen, all your mercenaries with you— your entire company with you— will fall into the midst of the sea on the day when you’re overthrown!
28 When your ships’ captains cry out, the pasturelands along the coast will cry out!
29 Everyone who handles an oar will abandon ship, they’ll head straight for dry land,
30 and they will cry so loud you won’t be able to make yourself heard! How bitterly they’ll cry! They’ll throw dust on their heads and wallow in ashes.
31 They’ll shave their heads bald because of you. They’ll dress themselves in sackcloth and weep for you with deep bitterness of heart, with the most pitiful of mourning.
32 In the depth of their despair they’ll compose a lament for you. This is what they’ll say: ‘Who is like Tyre? Who is so silent in the midst of the sea?’
