3And say to Tyre, O you who are seated at the doorway of the sea, trading for the peoples with the great sea-lands, these are the words of the Lord: You, O Tyre, have said, I am a ship completely beautiful.
4Your builders have made your outlines in the heart of the seas, they have made you completely beautiful.
5They have made all your boards of fir-trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make the supports for your sails.
6Of oak-trees from Bashan they have made your driving blades; they have made your floors of ivory and boxwood from the sea-lands of Kittim.
7The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.
8The people of Zidon and Arvad were your boatmen; the wise men of Zemer were in you; they were guiding your ships;
9The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight: all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods.
