O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea,
which art a merchant of the people for many isles,
Thus saith the Lord GOD;
O Tyrus, thou hast said,
I am of perfect beauty.
⁴ Thy borders are in the midst of the seas,
thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
⁵ They have made [this] all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir:
they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
⁶ Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars;
the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory,
bought out of the isles of Chittim.
⁷ Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt
was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail;
blue and purple from the isles of Elishah
was that which covered thee.
⁸ The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners:
thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee,
were thy pilots.
⁹ The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof
were in thee thy calkers [repairers of a gap]:
all the ships of the sea with their mariners
were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.

¹⁰ They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut
were in thine army,
thy men of war:
they hanged the shield and helmet in thee;
they set forth thy comeliness.
¹¹ The men of Arvad with thine army
were upon thy walls round about,
and the Gammadims were in thy towers:
they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about;
they have made thy beauty perfect.
