Ezekiel 27:6-8
Modern English Version
Ezekiel 27:6-8
Modern English Version
6 Of the oaks of Bashan
they have made your oars;
with ivory they have inlaid your deck of boxwood
out of the coastlands of Cyprus.
7 Fine linen with embroidered work from Egypt was your sail,
so that it became your distinguishing sign;
blue and purple from the coastlands of Elishah
was your awning.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your mariners;
your wise men, O Tyre, were aboard; they were your pilots.
