A description of the glory and riches of Tyre: and of her irrecoverable fall.

 1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

 2 Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre:
Tu ergo, fili hominis, assume super Tyrum lamentum :

 3 And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty,
et dices Tyro, quae habitat in introitu maris, negotiationi populorum ad insulas multas : Haec dicit Dominus Deus : O Tyre, tu dixisti : Perfecti decoris ego sum,

 4 And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy beauty:

 27 Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.
Divitiae tuae, et thesauri tui, et multiplex instrumentum tuum, nautae tui et gubernatores tui, qui tenebant supellectilem tuam, et populo tuo praeerant : viri quoque bellatores tui, qui erant in te, cum universa multitudine tua, quae est in medio tui, cadent in corde maris in die ruinae tuae.

 28 Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

 29 And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:
Et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum : nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt.

 30 And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice, and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads, and shall be sprinkled with ashes.
