Ezekiel 27:7-16

7Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail; Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.

8“Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you; They became your pilots.

9Elders of Gebal and its wise men Were in you to caulk your seams; All the ships of the sea And their oarsmen were in you To market your merchandise.

10“Those from Persia, Lydia, and Libya Were in your army as men of war; They hung shield and helmet in you; They gave splendor to you.

11Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around, And the men of Gammad were in your towers; They hung their shields on your walls all around; They made your beauty perfect.

12“Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

13Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.

14Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules.

15The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment.

16Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies.
