Ezekiel 27:2-3

27:2 “You, son of man, sing a lament for Tyre. 27:3 Say to Tyre, who sits at the entrance of the sea, merchant to the peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:

“‘O Tyre, you have said, “I am perfectly beautiful.”


tn Heb “lift up over Tyre a lament.”

tn Heb “entrances.” The plural noun may reflect the fact that Tyre had two main harbors.

sn Rome, another economic power, is described in a similar way in Rev 17:1.
