They traded turquoise, purple cloth and needlework for your goods. They also traded fine linen, coral and rubies for them.“‘ “Judah and Israel did business with you. They traded wheat from Minnith, sweets, honey, olive oil and lotion for your products.“‘ “Damascus did business with you. That’s because you had so many products and so much wealth.

They also traded colorful rugs that had twisted cords and tight knots.“‘ “The ships of Tarshish carry your products. You are like a ship filled with a heavy load as you sail the sea.The sailors who man your oars take you out to the high seas. But the east wind will break you in pieces far out at sea.You will be wrecked on that day. Your wealth, goods and products will sink deep into the sea. So will your sailors, officers, carpenters, traders and all your soldiers. Anyone else on board will sink too.The lands along the coast will shake when your sailors cry out.All those who man the oars will desert their ships. The sailors and all the officers will stand on the shore.They will raise their voices. They will cry bitterly over you. They will sprinkle dust on their heads. They will roll in ashes.They will shave their heads because of you. And they will put on the clothes of sadness. They will weep over you. Their spirits will be greatly troubled. They will be very sad.As they weep and mourn over you, they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say,‘ Who was ever like Tyre? It was destroyed in the sea.’Your goods went out on the seas. You supplied many nations with what they needed. You had so much wealth and so many products. You made the kings of the earth rich.Now the sea has torn you apart. You have sunk deep down into it. Your products and all your people have gone down with you.All those who live in the lands along the coast are shocked because of what has happened to you. Their kings tremble with fear. Their faces are twisted in horror.The traders among the nations laugh at you. You have come to a horrible end. And you will be gone forever.” ’ ”

It does not matter whether you are Israelites or outsiders.All these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you.
