6They made your oars from Bashan’s oaks. Of boxwood from the islands of Kittim they made your decks, inlaid with ivory. 7Fine Egyptian linen was your sail, serving as a banner for you. Your awning was blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah. The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your skilled men, Tyre, were on you —they were your sailors. 9The elders of Gebal and her experts were within you, caulking your leaks. All the ships of the sea with their sailors were with you to trade for your wares. 10Persia, Lud and Put were in your army, our men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor.
