Ezekiel 27:7-9

Contemporary English Version

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.
⁸ Men from Sidon and Arvad
    did the rowing,
and your own skilled workers
    were the captains.
⁹ Experienced men from Byblos
    repaired any damages.
Sailors from all over
shopped at the stores
    in your port.
