Ezekiel 27:1-9

YAHWEH spoke to me and said, “Son of man, sing a funeral song for Tyre. Say to Tyre, the city with ports on the Mediterranean Sea, merchant city for many peoples and many islands: “ ‘Lord YAHWEH says to you: Tyre, you have boasted: “I am the most beautiful city in the world!” Your frontiers were on the high sea, and those who built you made you perfect in beauty. As if they were building a ship they used cypress from Mount Hermon for all your boards, and a tall cedar from Lebanon to make a mast to stand above you. They made your oars from oaks of Bashan, and made you a fine deck with pines they took from the coasts of Cyprus, and they decorated it with ivory. Your sails and banners were of colorful embroidered linen from Egypt. Your deck awnings were made from the finest purple and scarlet cloth from Cyprus. Your oarsmen were rulers from the cities of Sidon and Arvad, and your own seasoned men were your sailors. The elders and craftsmen of Byblos were those who caulked your seams.
