Ezekiel 27:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ Your sails were made of linen,
Embroidered linen from Egypt,
Easily recognized from afar.
Your awnings were made of finest cloth,
Of purple from the island of Cyprus.
⁸ Your oarsmen were from the cities of Sidon and Arvad.
Your own skillful men were the sailors.
⁹ The ship's carpenters
Were well-trained men from Byblos.
Sailors from every seagoing ship
Did business in your shops.
