And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Żor;

and say to Żor, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the sea, that art a merchant of the peoples to many islands, Thus says the Lord God; O Żor, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.

Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

They have made all thy planks of cypress trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Levanon to make masts for thee.

Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thy oars; they have made thy benches of ivory with box treewood brought out of the isles of the Kittiyyim.

Fine linen with embroidered work from Miżrayim was that which thou didst spread out to be thy banner; blue and purple from the isles of Elisha was thy awning.

The inhabitants of Żidon and Arvad were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Żor, were in thee; they were thy pilots.

The elders of Geval and its wise men were in thee caulking thy seams: the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to exchange thy merchandise.

They of Paras and of Lud and of Put were in thy army, thy men of war: they hung the shield and helmet in thee; they provided thy comeliness.

The men of Arvad with thy army were upon thy walls round about, and Gammadim were on thy towers: they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they have completed thy beauty.

Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for thy wares.

Yavan, Tuval, and Meshekh, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for thy merchandise.

They of the house of Togarma traded for thy wares with horses and horsemen and mules.

The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many islands were the market of thy domain: they brought thee horns of ivory and ebony in payment.

Aram was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of thy works: they traded for thy wares with turquoise, purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies.

Yehuda and the land of Yisra᾽el they were thy merchants: they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnit, and pastry, and honey, and oil, and balm.

Dammeseq was thy merchant for the multitude of thy works, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Ḥelbon, and white wool.

Dan also and Yavan gave yarn for thy wares: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise.

Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for riding.

῾Arav, and all the princes of Qedar, were merchants of thy domain, in rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.

The merchants of Sheva and Ra῾ma, they were thy merchants: they dealt in thy wares with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.

Ḥaran, and Kanne, and ῾Eden, the merchants of Sheva, Ashshur, and Kilmad, thy merchants.

These, traded with thee in choice garments, in clothes of blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of coloured stuff, bound with ropes and made fast, for thy merchandise.

The ships of Tarshish were thy caravans for thy wares: and thou wast replenished, and heavy laden in the heart of the seas.

Thy rowers brought thee into great waters: the east wind has broken thee in the heart of the seas.

Thy riches, and thy wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, they that caulk thy seams, and they that trade for thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, along with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin.

At the sound of the cry of thy pilots, the neighbouring districts shall quake.

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;

and they shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow in the ashes:

and they shall make themselves bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul, a bitter mourning.

And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, Who is like Żor, like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?

When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many peoples; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.

Now thou art broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters; thy merchandise and all thy company are fallen in thy midst.

All the inhabitants of the islands are appalled at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid; their faces show alarm.

The merchants among the people hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and never shalt be any more.
