3 Tyre is the city at the entrance to the sea. It is the merchant to the nations. Say to Tyre, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says:Tyre, you used to brag about your perfect beauty.
4 Your home is the sea.“‘Your builders made your beauty perfect.
5 Your builders made all your boards from pine trees on Mount Hermon.They took cedar trees from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 They made your oars from oaks in Bashan.They made your deck from pine trees on the shores of Cyprus.It had ivory set in it.
7 Your sails were made out of fine embroidered linen from Egypt.They were like your flags.Your awnings were violet and purple.They came from the coasts of Elishah.
8 People from Sidon and Arvad used to row you.Your own skilled people were your sailors.
9 Master shipbuilders from Gebal went inside you to caulk your seams.All the ships on the sea and their sailorsdocked alongside you to trade with you.
