Ezekiel 27:3-11

English Standard Version

³and say to Tyre, who dwells at ^(A)the entrances to the sea, ^(B)merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,
    ‘I am ^(C)perfect in beauty.’
⁴Your borders are ^(D)in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.
⁵They made all your planks
    of fir trees from ^(E)Senir;
they took ^(F)a cedar from Lebanon
    to make a mast for you.
⁶Of ^(G)oaks of Bashan
    they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines
    from ^(H)the coasts of Cyprus,
    inlaid with ivory.
⁷^(I)Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
    was your sail,
    serving as your banner;
blue and purple from ^(J)the coasts of Elishah
    was your awning.
⁸The inhabitants of Sidon and ^(K)Arvad
    were your rowers;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
    they were ^(L)your pilots.
⁹The elders of ^(M)Gebal and her skilled men were in you,
    ^(N)caulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in you
    to barter for your wares.

¹⁰^(O)“Persia and ^(P)Lud and ^(Q)Put were in your army as your men of war. ^(R)They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor. ¹¹Men of ^(S)Arvad 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 ^(T)perfect your beauty.
