Ezekiel 27:3-25
3and say to Tyre, 1who sits at the 2entrance to the sea, 3merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘This is what the Lord 4God says: “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 juniper trees from 6Senir; They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.6Of 7oaks from 8Bashan they have made your rudders; With ivory they have 9inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of 10Cyprus.7Your sail was of colorfully embroidered linen from Egypt So that it became your flag; Your 11awning was 12violet and purple from the coastlands of 13Elishah.8The inhabitants of Sidon and 14Arvad were your rowers; Your 15wise men, Tyre, were 16aboard; they were your sailors.9The elders of 17Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your leaks; All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.
10“18Persia, 19Lud, and 20Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung up shield and helmet on you; they presented your splendor. 11The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the 21Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.
12“Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they paid for your merchandise. 1322Javan, 23Tubal, and 24Meshech, they were your traders; with human 25lives and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise. 14Those from 26Beth-togarmah gave horses, war horses, and mules for your merchandise. 15The sons of 27Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were 28your market; they brought 29ivory tusks and ebony as your payment. 1630Aram was your customer because of the abundance of your 31goods; they paid for your merchandise with 3233emeralds, purple, 34colorfully woven cloth, fine linen, coral, and rubies. 17Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of 35Minnith, 36cakes, honey, oil, and balsam they paid for your merchandise. 1837Damascus was your customer because of the abundance of your 38goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool. 19Vedan and Javan paid for your merchandise from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia, and spice reed were among your merchandise. 2039Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 2140Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were 41your customers for 42lambs, rams, and goats; for these they were your customers. 22The traders of 43Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your merchandise with the best of all 44balsam oil, and with all kinds of precious stones, and gold. 23Haran, Canneh, 45Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you. 24They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of violet and colorfully woven cloth, and in blankets of two colors, and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise. 25The 46ships of Tarshish were 47the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very 48glorious In the heart of the seas.
