3 and to Tyre, the one dwelling at the entrances of the sea, being merchant of the peoples on many coasts, say, thus says the Lord YHWH: O Tyre, you have said: ‘I am perfect in beauty.’ 4 In the midst of the seas are your borders, and your builders have perfected your beauty. 5 With cypress from Senir they have built for you all your planks; a cedar from Lebanon they took to make a mast for you. 6 Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; your boards they have made with ivory, of the daughter of the Ashurites from the coasts of Kittim. 7 Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail, to be for you a banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning. 8 Those dwelling in Sidon and Arvad were the rowers for you; your wise men, O Tyre, were in you—they were your pilots. 9 Elders of Gebal and her wise men were in you, strengthening your breaches; all the ships of the sea and their sailors were in you, to offer merchandise to you.
