Ezekiel 27:17-19
New English Translation
17 Judah and the land of Israel were your clients; they traded wheat from Minnith,[a] millet, honey, olive oil, and balm for your merchandise. 18 Damascus was your trade partner because of the abundance of your goods and of all your wealth: wine from Helbon, white wool from Zahar, 19 and casks of wine[b] from Izal[c] they exchanged for your products. Wrought iron, cassia, and sweet cane were among your merchandise.
