Ezekiel 27:4-9
New King James Version
4 Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They [a]made all your planks of fir trees from (A)Senir;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
6 Of (B)oaks from Bashan they made your oars;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from (C)the coasts of [b]Cyprus.
7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.
8 “Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
They became your pilots.
9 Elders of (D)Gebal and its wise men
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.
