7 Fine linen with broidered work, brought from Egypt, was spread over thee to be thy sail, blue silk and purple, brought from the isles of Elishah was thy covering.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon, and Arvad were thy mariners, O Tyre: thy wise men that were in thee, they were thy [a]pilots.
9 The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof were in thee thy [b]caulkers, all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
