And thou, son of man, take up a lamentation against Sor;
3 som ligger ved Adgangen til Havet og driver Handel med Folkeslagene på de mange fjerne Strande: Så siger den Herre HERREN: Tyrus, du siger: "Fuldendt i Skønhed er jeg!"
and thou shalt say to Sor that dwells at the entrance of the sea, to the mart of the nations coming from many islands, Thus saith the Lord to Sor; Thou hast said, I have clothed myself with my beauty.
