Ezekiel 27:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 They made your oars of oak from Bashan.
Your planks were made of pine,[a] inlaid with ivory,
from the coasts of Cyprus.[b]
7 Your sail was brightly decorated linen from Egypt,
which also served as your banner.
Your awning was blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah.
8 Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad served as your rowers.
Tyre, your own skilled men, who were with you,
manned your sails.
