3 Tell 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.’ 4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty. 5 They constructed all your planking with cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you. 6 Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory. 7 Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning. 8 The men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your men of skill, O Tyre, were there as your captains. 9 The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights, repairing your leaks. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to barter for your merchandise. Ezekiel 27:3-9, Berean Standard Bible. Public domain.
