CHAPTER 27

A Lamentation against Sor

1And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2And you, O son of man, take [²against ³Sor ¹a lamentation]. 3And you shall say   to Sor, to the one dwelling upon the entrance of the sea, to the market-place of the peoples from [²islands ¹many], Thus says Adonai the lord    to Sor, You said, I invested myself with my beauty. 4In the heart of the sea   are your borders, your sons invested to you beauty. 5Cedar of Senir was used to build by you; they used fascia planks of cypress from   Lebanon; [²was taken   ³to make ⁴masts for you ¹fir]. 6From out of   Bashan they made   your oars;   [²your temples ¹they made] from out of ivory; houses of the woods from the islands of the Chittim. 7Linen with embroidery from out of Egypt was to you for a strewn bed,   to put [²upon ³you ¹glory], and to clothe you in blue and purple from the islands of Elishah; and they became your wraps. 8And   your rulers, the ones dwelling in Sidon, and Arvad became your oarsmen.   Your wise men, O Sor, the ones who were among you, these were your navigators. 9The elders of the Biblians, and   their wise men who were among you, these grew in strength   for your counsel. And all the boats of the sea and   their oarsmen came to you from the descent of the west. 10Persians and Lidians and Libyans were [²among   ³your force ¹men], of your warriors -- [²shields ³and ⁴helmets ¹they hung] among you; these gave   you glory. 11Sons of Arvad, and   your force were upon   your walls round about. But also Medes in   your towers were guards.   [²their quivers ¹They hung] upon   your moorings, round about these they perfected your   beauty. 12Carthaginians were your merchants because of the abundance of all your strength. Silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead they put in  your market. 13The Greek and the whole world, and the places  extending; these traded with you in lives of men; and items of brass they gave   for your trade. 14From out of the house of Torgarmah, horses and horsemen and mules they gave for your market. 15The sons of the Rhodians were your merchants; from the islands they multiplied   your trade, even teeth of ivory; and to the ones bringing you repaid   with your wages, 16of men for your trading from the multitude   of your consolidation; balsam and purple and linen, and colored works  from out of Tharsis; and Ramoth and Chohor gave   for your market. 17Judah, and the sons of Israel, these were your merchants in the sale of grain and perfumed liquids; and foremost honey and olive oil and balm they gave unto   your consolidation. 18Damascus was your trade in the abundance of your works, from an abundance of your power; wine from Helbon, and [²wool ¹shining] from Miletus. 19Dan and Javan and Moozel were for   your market; iron for working implements  and wheels [²among   ³your consolidation ¹are]. 20Dedan were your merchants with [²animals ¹choice] for chariots. 21  Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar, these were your merchants trading  [²through ³your hand ¹camels], and lambs, and rams in which they traded with you. 22  Your merchants were Sheba and Raamah, these were your merchants with foremost of spices, and [²stones ¹precious]; and [²gold ¹they gave]   for your market. 23Haran and Canneh and Eden, these were your merchants; Sheba and Assyria and Chilmad were your merchants; 24bringing trade of blue, and [²treasures ¹choice] being bound in rough cords, and cypress. 25Boats among them   were your merchants in the abundance   of your consolidations. And you were filled up and weighed down exceedingly in the heart of the seas. 26[⁴into ⁶water ⁵much ²led ³you   ¹Your oarsmen]; the wind of the south broke you in the heart of the sea. 27  Your force, and   your wage, and   your consolidations, and   your oarsmen, and   your navigators, and   your counselors, and   your consolidations from out of   your consolidations, and all the men,   your warriors   among you; and [²whole ³gathering ¹your] in the midst of you shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day   of your downfall. 28At the sound   of your cry   your navigators [²with fear ¹shall be afraid]. 29And [³shall go down ⁴from   ⁵their boats ¹all   ²your oarsmen], and the crewmen, and the captains of the sea; [²upon ³the ⁴ground ¹they shall stand]. 30And they shall shout over you   with their voice, and shall cry out bitterly, and shall place earth upon   their head, and [²of ashes ¹shall spread a bed]. 31And they shall shave because of you unto baldness; and they shall gird on sackcloth, and shall weep over you in bitterness of life, even lamenting bitterly. 32[²shall take   ¹Their sons ⁴over ⁵you ³a lamentation] and a wailing, Sor, Who is as Tyre observing silence in the middle of the sea? 33How much [²did you find ¹wage] from the sea? You filled up nations from   your abundance, and from   your consolidation you enriched all the kings of the earth. 34But now you are broken in the sea; [⁵is in ⁶the depth ⁷of the water   ¹your consolidation ²and ³all   ⁴your gathering] in your midst. [³fell ¹All   ²your oarsmen]. 35All the ones dwelling the islands shall be gloomy over you, and   their kings [²with a change of state ¹shall be amazed], and [²shall burst into tears   ¹their countenance]. 36Merchants from the nations whistled at you; [²for destruction ¹you became], and no longer will you be into the eon.
