Ezekiel 27:1-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

O Tyre, you have said,
    “I am perfect in beauty.”^(B)
4 Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.^(C)
5 They made all your planks
    of fir trees from Senir;
they took a cedar from Lebanon
    to make a mast for you.^(D)
6 From oaks of Bashan
    they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines^[a]
    from the coasts of Cyprus,
    inlaid with ivory.^(E)
7 Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
    was your sail,
    serving as your ensign;
blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah
    was your awning.
⁸ The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
    were your rowers;
skilled men of Zemer^[b] were within you;
    they were your pilots.^(F)
9 The elders of Gebal and its artisans were within you,
    caulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their sailors were within you,
    to barter for your wares.^(G)
10 Paras^[c] and Lud and Put
    were in your army,
    your mighty warriors;
they hung shield and helmet in you;
    they gave you splendor.^(H)
11 Men of Arvad and Helech^[d]
    were on your walls all around;
    men of Gamad were at your towers.
They hung their quivers all around your walls;
    they made perfect your beauty.^(I)
