Context Reading
2“Now you, son of man, take up a lament for Tyre. 3Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’ 4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty. 5They constructed all your planking with cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.
