    was your sail,

⁹ Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish
    and gold from Uphaz.

    their clothing is blue and purple;
    they are all the product of skilled workers.^(A)

⁹ The workers in flax will be in despair,
    and the carders and those at the loom will grow pale.

¹⁶ I have decked my couch with coverings,
    colored spreads of Egyptian linen;^(A)
