Igjen kom Herrens Ord til meg, og det lød slik: «Esekiel, nå skal du stemme i en klagesang over Tyrus og si til dem: ‘Du ligger ved innløpene for havet med handelsmenn for folk fra fjerne kyster. Herren har hørt hvordan byen har skryt av seg selv og sagt at du er fullkommen i din skjønnhet. Grensene dine går midt i havet. Bygningsmennene dine har gjort din skjønnhet fullkommen, for de lagde alle plankene dine av sypresser fra Senir. Fra Libanon tok de sedertre for å lage master, og av eiketrær fra Basan lagde de årer. Treverket i dekket lagde de av furu fra kystene av Kitteerlandet, og det ble innlagt med elfenbein. Fint, fargerikt lin fra Egypt var seilet ditt, og det gjorde nytte som flagg. Fiolett og purpur fra kystene ved Elisja var det som dekket deg.
