Ezekiel 27:3-11

3Say to Tyre, who is situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands, ‘This is what the Lord God says: Tyre, you declared, “I am perfect in beauty.”

4Your realm was in the heart of the sea; your builders perfected your beauty.

5They constructed all your planking with pine trees from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.

6They made your oars of oaks from Bashan. They made your deck of cypress wood from the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.

7Your sail was made of fine embroidered linen from Egypt, and served as your banner. Your awning was of blue and purple fabric from the coasts of Elishah.

8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your wise men were within you, Tyre; they were your captains.

9The elders of Gebal and its wise men were within you, repairing your leaks. “‘All the ships of the sea and their sailors came to you to barter for your goods.

10Men of Persia, Lud, and Put were in your army, serving as your warriors. They hung shields and helmets in you; they gave you splendor.

11Men of Arvad and Helech were stationed on your walls all around, and Gammadites were in your towers. They hung their shields all around your walls; they perfected your beauty.
