Ezekiel 27:3-23

New King James Version

³and say to Tyre, ^(A)‘You who ^[a]are situated at the entrance of the sea, ^(B)merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,
^(C)‘I am perfect in beauty.’
⁴Your borders are in the midst of the seas.
Your builders have perfected your beauty.
⁵They ^[b]made all your planks of fir trees from ^(D)Senir;
They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
⁶Of ^(E)oaks from Bashan they made your oars;
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from ^(F)the coasts of ^[c]Cyprus.
⁷Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.

⁸“Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
They became your pilots.
⁹Elders of ^(G)Gebal and its wise men
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.

¹⁰“Those from Persia, ^[d]Lydia, and ^[e]Libya
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
¹¹Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made ^(H)your beauty perfect.

¹²^(I)“Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. ¹³^(J)Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered ^(K)human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. ¹⁴Those from the house of ^(L)Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. ¹⁵The men of ^(M)Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand.
