Ezekiel 27:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Inhabitants of Sidon[a] and Arvad
were your oarsmen;
Your own sages, Tyre, were on board,
serving as your sailors.(A)
9 The elders and sages of Gebal
were with you to caulk your seams.
Every ship and sailor on the sea
came to you to carry on trade.(B)
10 Persia and Lud and Put
were warriors in your army;
Shield and helmet they hung on you
to enhance your splendor.
