Ezekiel 27:3-9 ▼

3 and say to Tyre, who inhabits the entrance to the sea, a trader of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.

5 They have made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6 Of oaks from Bashan they have made your oars; With ivory they have inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of Cyprus.

7 Your sail was of fine embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your standard; Your awning was blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; Your wise men, O Tyre, were aboard; they were your pilots.

9 The elders of Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.
