Ezekiel 27:3-5
New English Translation
3 Say to Tyre, who sits at the entrance[a] of the sea,[b] merchant to the peoples on many coasts, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘O Tyre, you have said, “I am perfectly beautiful.”
4 [c] Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
your builders have perfected your beauty.
5 They crafted[d] all your planks out of fir trees from Senir;[e]
they took a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.
