They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast.
The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks
With ivory from bthe coasts of Cyprus.
Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you.
Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;
They became your pilots.
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made ayour beauty perfect.
| << Ezekiel 27:6 | Ezekiel 27:8 >> |
