3 Say to Tyre, who sits at the entrance of the sea, merchant to the peoples on many coasts, 'This is what the sovereign LORD says: |'O Tyre, you have said, |I am perfectly beautiful.| 4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders have perfected your beauty. 5 They crafted all your planks out of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast. 6 They made your oars from oaks of Bashan; they made your deck with cypresses from the Kittean isles. 7 Fine linen from Egypt, woven with patterns, was used for your sail to serve as your banner; blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah was used for your deck's awning. 8 The leaders of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were your captains. 9 The elders of Gebal and her skilled men were within you, mending cracks; all the ships of the sea and their mariners were within you to trade for your merchandise.
