Ezekiel 27:7-11

They used good linen from Egypt to make your sail. They made it pretty with many colours. The sail was like a flag that everyone could see. They made tents of cloth to cover your deck. It was blue and purple cloth that came from Cyprus island.

Men from Sidon and Arvad used the oars to move the ship. Your own clever men from Tyre were your sailors.

Leaders from Gebal went with you. They brought men who knew how to mend the ship. Sailors of ships from many countries came to buy things from you.

There were brave soldiers from Persia, Lydia and Libya in your army. They hung their shields and their helmets on your walls. They caused people to give you honour.

Men from Arvad and Helech were guards who stood on your walls. Soldiers from Gammad were in your strong towers. They hung their weapons on your walls. They made you look very beautiful.
