4 Your realm was in the heart of the sea;

your builders perfected your beauty.

5 They constructed all your planking

with pine trees from Senir.f

They took a cedar from Lebanon

to make a mast for you.

6 They made your oars of oaks from Bashan.

They made your deck of cypress wood

from the coasts of Cyprus,g

inlaid with ivory.

7 Your sail was made of

fine embroidered linen from Egypt,

and served as your banner.

Your awning was of blue and purple fabric

from the coasts of Elishah.

8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvadh

were your rowers.

Your wise men were within you, Tyre;

they were your captains.

9 The elders of Gebal and its wise meni

were within you, repairing your leaks.

“ ‘All the ships of the sea and their sailors

came to you to barter for your goods.
