Ezekiel 27:6-8
New International Version
6 Of oaks(A) from Bashan
they made your oars;
of cypress wood[a] from the coasts of Cyprus(B)
they made your deck, adorned with ivory.
7 Fine embroidered linen(C) from Egypt was your sail
and served as your banner;
your awnings were of blue and purple(D)
from the coasts of Elishah.(E)
8 Men of Sidon and Arvad(F) were your oarsmen;
your skilled men, Tyre, were aboard as your sailors.(G)

King James Version
6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.
7 Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
