Ezekiel 27:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 With oaks of Bashan[a]
they fashioned your oars,
Your bridge, of ivory-inlaid cypress wood
from the coasts of Kittim.
7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt
became your sail;
Your awnings were made of purple and scarlet
from the coasts of Elishah.[b](A)
8 Inhabitants of Sidon[c] and Arvad
were your oarsmen;
Your own sages, Tyre, were on board,
serving as your sailors.(B)
