Tell Tyre, gateway to the sea, merchant to the world, trader among the far-off islands, ‘This is what God , the Master, says: "‘You boast, Tyre: "I'm the perfect ship—stately, handsome." You ruled the high seas from a real beauty, crafted to perfection. Your planking came from Mount Hermon junipers. A Lebanon cedar supplied your mast. They made your oars from sturdy Bashan oaks. Cypress from Cyprus inlaid with ivory was used for the decks. Your sail and flag were of colorful embroidered linen from Egypt. Your purple deck awnings also came from Cyprus. Men of Sidon and Arvad pulled the oars. Your seasoned seamen, O Tyre, were the crew. Ship's carpenters were old salts from Byblos. All the ships of the sea and their sailors clustered around you to barter for your goods.

Cross-References
And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau's hands; so he blessed him.
Then he said, "Bring it to me, that I may eat of my son's game and bless you." So he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him; and he kissed them and embraced them.
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place;
in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look through the windows are dimmed,
Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be made manifest in him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The dirge of Tyre written in poetical form. Tyre is compared to a fair vessel, to whose equipment the various nations of the world contribute, launching forth in majesty, to be wrecked and to perish. The nations enumerated point out Tyre as the center of commerce between the eastern and western world. This position, occupied for a short time by Jerusalem, was long maintained by Tyre, until the erection of Alexandria supplanted her in this traffic. Compare the dirge of Babylon Isaiah 14:3-23; in each case the city named represents the world-power antagonistic to God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXVII
This chapter may be considered as the second part of the
prophecy concerning Tyre. The prophet pursues his subject in
the manner of those ancient lamentations or funeral songs, in
which the praeficiae or mourning women first recounted whatever
was great or praiseworthy in the deceased, and then mourned his
fall. Here the riches, glory, and extensive commerce of Tyre
are enlarged upon, 1-25.
Her downfall is then described in a beautiful allegory,
executed in a few words, with astonishing brevity, propriety,
and perspicuity, 26;
upon which all the maritime and commercial world are
represented as grieved and astonished at her fate, and greatly
alarmed for their own, 27-36.
Besides the view which this chapter gives of the conduct of
Providence, and the example with which it furnishes the critic
and men of taste of a very elegant and highly finished piece of
composition, it likewise affords the antiquary a very curious
and interesting account of the wealth and commerce of ancient
times. And to the mind that looks for "a city that hath
foundations," what a picture does the whole present of the
mutability and inanity of all earthly things! Many of the
places mentioned in ancient history have, like Tyre, long ago
lost their political consequence; the geographical situation of
others cannot be traced; they have sunk in the deep waters of
oblivion; the east wind hath carried them away.
