Ezekiel 27:3–23

³and say to Tyre, who dwells at ^vthe entrances to the sea, ^wmerchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,

‘I am ^xperfect in beauty.’

⁴Your borders are ^yin the heart of the seas;

your builders made perfect your beauty.

⁵They made all your planks

of fir trees from ^zSenir;

they took ^aa cedar from Lebanon

to make a mast for you.

⁶Of ^boaks of Bashan

they made your oars;

they made your deck of pines

from ^cthe coasts of Cyprus,

inlaid with ivory.

^7dOf fine embroidered linen from Egypt

was your sail,

serving as your banner;

blue and purple from ^cthe coasts of Elishah

was your awning.

⁸The inhabitants of Sidon and ^eArvad

were your rowers;

your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;

they were ^fyour pilots.

⁹The elders of ^gGebal and her skilled men were in you,

^hcaulking your seams;

all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you

to barter for your wares.

¹⁰ⁱ“Persia and ^jLud and ⁱPut were in your army as your men of war. ^kThey hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor. ¹¹Men of ^eArvad and Helech were on your walls all around, and men of Gamad were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they made ^xperfect your beauty.
