Ezekiel 27:3-11

3Tell 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.’4Your borders are in the heart of the seas;your builders perfected your beauty.5They constructed all your plankingwith cypress1 from Senir.2They took a cedar from Lebanonto make a mast for you.6Of oaks from Bashanthey made your oars;of wood from the coasts of Cyprus3they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.7Of embroidered fine linen from Egyptthey made your sail,which served as your banner.Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishahthey made your awning.
8The men of Sidon and Arvadwere your oarsmen.Your men of skill, O Tyre,were there as your captains.9The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights,repairing your leaks.All the ships of the sea and their sailorscame alongside to barter for your merchandise.
10Men of Persia, Lydia, and Putserved as warriors in your army.They hung their shields and helmets on your walls;they gave you splendor.11Men of Arvad and Helechmanned your walls all around,and the men of Gammadwere in your towers.They hung their shields around your walls;they perfected your beauty.
