Elders of (A)Gebal and its wise men
Were in you to caulk your seams;
All the ships of the sea
And their oarsmen were in you
To market your merchandise.

10 “Those from Persia, [a]Lydia, and [b]Libya
Were in your army as men of war;
They hung shield and helmet in you;
They gave splendor to you.
11 Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,
And the men of Gammad were in your towers;
They hung their shields on your walls all around;
They made (B)your beauty perfect.

12 (C)“Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. 13 (D)Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered (E)human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 Those from the house of (F)Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. 15 The men of (G)Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment. 16 Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies. 17 Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of (H)Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and (I)balm. 18 Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool. 19 Dan and Javan paid for your wares, [c]traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise. 20 (J)Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of (K)Kedar were your regular merchants. They traded with you in lambs, rams, and goats. 22 The merchants of (L)Sheba and Raamah were your merchants. They traded for your wares the choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold. 23 (M)Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of (N)Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad were your merchants. 24 These were your merchants in choice items—in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace.

25 “The (O)ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise.
You were filled and very glorious (P)in the midst of the seas.
