Ezekiel 27:4-6

Contemporary English Version

You are a ship
    built to perfection.
⁵ Builders used cypress trees
from Mount Hermon
    to make your planks
and a cedar tree from Lebanon
    for your tall mast.
⁶ Oak trees from Bashan
    were shaped into oars;
pine trees from Cyprus^[b]
    were cut for your deck,
which was then decorated
    with strips of ivory.
