Living Bible
10 “‘Your army includes men from far-off Paras, Lud, and Put.[a] They serve you—it is a feather in your cap to have their shields hang upon your walls; it is the ultimate of honor. 11 Men from Arvad and from Helech[b] are the sentinels upon your walls; your towers are manned by men from Gamad. Their shields hang row on row upon the walls, perfecting your glory.
12 “‘From Tarshish come all kinds of riches to your markets—silver, iron, tin, and lead.
