3 Say to Tyre, who is located at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coasts and islands: This is what the Lord God says:Tyre, you declared,‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Your realm was in the heart of the sea;your builders perfected your beauty.
5 They constructed all your plankingwith pine trees from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanonto make a mast for you.
6 They made your oars of oaks from Bashan.They made your deck of cypress woodfrom the coasts of Cyprus, inlaid with ivory.
7 Your sail was made offine embroidered linen from Egypt,and served as your banner.Your awning was of blue and purple fabricfrom the coasts of Elishah.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers.Your wise men were within you, Tyre;they were your captains.
9 The elders of Gebal and its wise men were within you, repairing your leaks.All the ships of the sea and their sailorscame to you to barter for your goods.
