Ezekiel 27:2-7 English Standard Version (ESV)

2. “Now you, son of man, raise a lamentation over Tyre,

3. and say to Tyre, who dwells at the entrances to the sea, merchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:“O Tyre, you have said,‘I am perfect in beauty.’

4. Your borders are in the heart of the seas;your builders made perfect your beauty.

5. They made all your planksof fir trees from Senir;they took a cedar from Lebanonto make a mast for you.

6. Of oaks of Bashanthey made your oars;they made your deck of pinesfrom the coasts of Cyprus,inlaid with ivory.

7. Of fine embroidered linen from Egyptwas your sail,serving as your banner;blue and purple from the coasts of Elishahwas your awning.
