⁴ Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
   your builders made perfect your beauty.
⁵ They made all your planks
   of fir trees from Senir;
they took a cedar from Lebanon
   to make a mast for you.
⁶ From oaks of Bashan
   they made your oars;
they made your deck of pines^*
   from the coasts of Cyprus,
   inlaid with ivory.
⁷ Of fine embroidered linen from Egypt
   was your sail,
   serving as your ensign;
blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah
   was your awning.
⁸ The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad
   were your rowers;
skilled men of Zemer^* were within you,
   they were your pilots.
⁹ The elders of Gebal and its artisans were within you,
   caulking your seams;
all the ships of the sea with their mariners were within you,
   to barter for your wares.
¹⁰ Paras^* and Lud and Put
   were in your army,
   your mighty warriors;
they hung shield and helmet in you;
   they gave you splendour.
¹¹ Men of Arvad and Helech^*
   were on your walls all round;
   men of Gamad were at your towers.
They hung their quivers all round your walls;
   they made perfect your beauty.
