Ezekiel 27:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Builders used cypress trees
from Mount Hermon
    to make your planks
and a cedar tree from Lebanon
    for your tall mast.
⁶ Oak trees from Bashan
    were shaped into oars;
pine trees from Cyprus^[a]
    were cut for your deck,
which was then decorated
    with strips of ivory.
⁷ The builders used fancy linen
from Egypt for your sails,
    so everyone could see you.
Blue and purple cloth
from Cyprus was used
    to shade your deck.
