Ezekiel 27:3-9
English Standard Version
3 and 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.’
4 Your borders are (D)in the heart of the seas;
your builders made perfect your beauty.
5 They made all your planks
of fir trees from (E)Senir;
they took (F)a cedar from Lebanon
to make a mast for you.
6 Of (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.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and (K)Arvad
were your rowers;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
they were (L)your pilots.
9 The 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.
