3and sayH559 unto TyreH6865, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the seaH3220, that art the merchant of the peoplesH5971 unto manyH7227 isles, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Thou, O TyreH6865, hast saidH559, I am perfectH3632 in beautyH3308. 4Thy bordersH1366 are in the heartH3820 of the seasH3220; thy buildersH1129 have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308. 5They have madeH6213 all thy planks of fir-trees from SenirH8149; they have takenH3947 a cedarH730 from LebanonH3844 to makeH6213 a mastH8650 for thee. 6Of the oaksH437 of BashanH1316 have they madeH6213 thine oars; they have madeH6213 thy benches of ivoryH8127 inlaid in boxwood, from the isles of KittimH3794. 7Of fineH8336 linenH8336 with broidered work from EgyptH4714 wasH1961 thy sailH5251, that it might beH1961 to thee for an ensign; blueH8504 and purpleH713 from the isles of ElishahH473 wasH1961 thine awning. 8The inhabitantsH3427 of SidonH6721 and ArvadH719 wereH1961 thy rowers: thy wiseH2450 men, O TyreH6865, wereH1961 in thee, they wereH1961 thy pilots. 9The oldH2205 men of Gebal and the wiseH2450 men thereof wereH1961 in thee thy calkers: all the shipsH591 of the seaH3220 with their mariners wereH1961 in thee to deal in thy merchandiseH4627. 10PersiaH6539 and LudH3865 and PutH5414 wereH1961 in thine armyH2428, thy menH376 of warH4421: they hangedH8518 the shieldH4043 and helmetH3553 in thee; they setH5414 forth thy comeliness. 11The men of ArvadH719 with thine armyH2428 wereH1961 upon thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 about, and valorous men wereH1961 in thy towersH4026; they hangedH8518 their shieldsH7982 upon thy wallsH2346 roundH5439 about; they have perfectedH3634 thy beautyH3308.
