Ezekiel 27:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 From oaks of Bashan,
they made your oars;
they constructed your deck with cypress[a]
from the coasts of Kittim.
7 Fine embroidered linen from Egypt
was used for your sail
and also for your flag.
Purple and scarlet from the coasts of Elishah[b]
served as your awnings.
8 The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
served as your oarsmen.
Skilled men of Zemer were aboard
to act as your sailors.
