Ezekiel 27:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ They took oak trees from Bashan to make oars;
They made your deck out of pine from Cyprus
And inlaid it with ivory.
⁷ Your sails were made of linen,
Embroidered linen from Egypt,
Easily recognized from afar.
Your awnings were made of finest cloth,
Of purple from the island of Cyprus.
⁸ Your oarsmen were from the cities of Sidon and Arvad.
Your own skillful men were the sailors.
