4 Your home is the sea.Your builders made you like a beautiful ship;
5 They used fir trees from Mount Hermon for timberAnd a cedar from Lebanon for your mast.
6 They took oak trees from Bashan to make oars;They made your deck out of pine from CyprusAnd 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.
9 The ship's carpentersWere well-trained men from Byblos.Sailors from every seagoing shipDid business in your shops.
10 “Soldiers from Persia, Lydia, and Libya served in your army. They hung their shields and their helmets in your barracks. They are the men who won glory for you.
