Ezekiel 27:3-11
3and say to Tyre, 1who dwells at the 2entrance to the sea, 3merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘Thus says the Lord 4God, “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 5made all your planks of fir trees from 6Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.6Of 7oaks from 8Bashan they have made your oars; With ivory they have 9inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of 10Cyprus.7Your sail was of fine embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your 11distinguishing mark; Your 12awning was 1314blue and purple from the coastlands of 15Elishah.8The inhabitants of Sidon and 16Arvad were your rowers; Your 17wise men, O Tyre, were 18aboard; they were your pilots.9The elders of 19Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.
10“20Persia and 21Lud and 22Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor. 11The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the 23Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.
