Ezekiel 27:1-7

1Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, 2“And you, son of man, 1take up a lamentation over Tyre; 3and say to Tyre, 2who dwells at the 3entrance to the sea, 4merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘Thus says the Lord 5God, “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’4Your borders are in the heart of the seas; Your builders have perfected your beauty.5They have 6made all your planks of fir trees from 7Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.6Of 8oaks from 9Bashan they have made your oars; With ivory they have 10inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of 11Cyprus.7Your sail was of fine embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your 12distinguishing mark; Your 13awning was 14 15blue and purple from the coastlands of 16Elishah.
