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.’
Your borders are (D)in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.
They made all your planks
    of fir trees from (E)Senir;
they took (F)a cedar from Lebanon
    to make a mast for you.
Of (G)oaks of Bashan
    they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines
    from (H)the coasts of Cyprus,
    inlaid with ivory.
(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.
The inhabitants of Sidon and (K)Arvad
    were your rowers;
your skilled men, O Tyre, were in you;
    they were (L)your pilots.
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.
