Ezekiel 27:7-16
7Your sails were made of Egypt’s finest linen, and they flew as a banner above you. You stood beneath blue and purple awnings made bright with dyes from the coasts of Elishah.
8Your oarsmen came from Sidon and Arvad; your helmsmen were skilled men from Tyre itself.
9Wise old craftsmen from Gebal did the caulking. Ships from every land came with goods to barter for your trade.
10“Men from distant Persia, Lydia, and Libya served in your great army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls, giving you great honor.
11Men from Arvad and Helech stood on your walls. Your towers were manned by men from Gammad. Their shields hung on your walls, completing your beauty.
12“Tarshish sent merchants to buy your wares in exchange for silver, iron, tin, and lead.
13Merchants from Greece, Tubal, and Meshech brought slaves and articles of bronze to trade with you.
14“From Beth-togarmah came riding horses, chariot horses, and mules, all in exchange for your goods.
15Merchants came to you from Dedan. Numerous coastlands were your captive markets; they brought payment in ivory tusks and ebony wood.
16“Syria sent merchants to buy your rich variety of goods. They traded turquoise, purple dyes, embroidery, fine linen, and jewelry of coral and rubies.
