6They made your oars from oaks of Bashan; they made your deck with cypresses from the Kittean isles.

7Fine linen from Egypt, woven with patterns, was used for your sail to serve as your banner; blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah was used for your deck’s awning.

8The leaders of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your skilled men, O Tyre, were your captains.

10Men of Persia, Lud, and Put were in your army, men of war. They hung shield and helmet on you; they gave you your splendor.

11The Arvadites joined your army on your walls all around, and the Gammadites were in your towers. They hung their quivers on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.
