Ezekiel 27:3-23 — Legacy Standard Bible

³and say to Tyre, ^awho inhabits the ¹entrance to the sea, a ^btrader of the peoples to many coastlands, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “O Tyre, you have said, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’

⁴“Your borders are in the heart of the seas;Your builders have perfected your beauty.⁵“They have ¹made all your planks of fir trees from ^aSenir;They have taken a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.⁶“Of ^aoaks from ^bBashan they have made your oars;With ivory they have ¹inlaid your deck of boxwood from the coastlands of ^cCyprus.⁷“Your ¹sail was of fine embroidered linen from EgyptSo that it became your ²standard;Your ³awning was ⁴^,^ablue and purple from the coastlands of ^bElishah.⁸“The inhabitants of Sidon and ^aArvad were your rowers;Your ^bwise men, O Tyre, were ¹aboard; they were your pilots.⁹“The elders of ^aGebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams;All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.

¹⁰“^aPersia and ^bLud and ^cPut were in your military force, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your majesty. ¹¹“The sons of Arvad and your military force were on your walls, all around, and the ¹Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their small shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

¹²“Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they paid for your wares. ¹³“^aJavan, ^bTubal, and ^cMeshech, they were your traders; with the ^dlives of men and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise. ¹⁴“Those from ^aBeth-togarmah gave horses and war horses and mules for your wares. ¹⁵“The sons of ^aDedan were your traders. Many coastlands were ¹customers at your hand; ^bivory tusks and ebony they brought as your payment. ¹⁶“^aAram was your customer because of the abundance of your ¹goods; they paid for your wares with ^bemeralds, purple, ^cembroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies. ¹⁷“Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of ^aMinnith, ¹cakes, honey, oil, and balm they paid for your merchandise. ¹⁸“^aDamascus was your customer because of the abundance of your ¹goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool. ¹⁹“Also Vedan and Javan paid for your wares ¹from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia, and ²sweet cane were among your merchandise. ²⁰“^aDedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. ²¹“^aArabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were ¹customers at your hand for ^blambs, rams, and goats; for these, they were your customers. ²²“The traders of ^aSheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your wares with the best of all kinds of ^bspices and with all kinds of precious stones and gold. ²³“Haran, Canneh, ^aEden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.
