“The elders of (A)Gebal and her wise men were with you repairing your seams;
All the ships of the sea and their sailors were with you in order to deal in your merchandise.

10 (B)Persia and (C)Lud and (D)Put were in your army, your men of war. They hung shield and helmet in you; they set forth your splendor. 11 The sons of Arvad and your army were on your walls, all around, and the [a]Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields on your walls all around; they perfected your beauty.

12 “Tarshish was your customer because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth; with silver, iron, tin and lead they paid for your wares. 13 (E)Javan, (F)Tubal and (G)Meshech, they were your traders; with the (H)lives of men and vessels of bronze they paid for your merchandise. 14 Those from (I)Beth-togarmah gave horses and war horses and mules for your wares. 15 The sons of (J)Dedan were your traders. Many coastlands were [b]your market; (K)ivory tusks and ebony they brought as your payment. 16 (L)Aram was your customer because of the abundance of your [c]goods; they paid for your wares with (M)emeralds, purple, (N)embroidered work, fine linen, coral and rubies. 17 Judah and the land of Israel, they were your traders; with the wheat of (O)Minnith, [d]cakes, honey, oil and balm they paid for your merchandise. 18 (P)Damascus was your customer because of the abundance of your [e]goods, because of the abundance of all kinds of wealth, because of the wine of Helbon and white wool. 19 Vedan and Javan paid for your wares [f]from Uzal; wrought iron, cassia and [g]sweet cane were among your merchandise. 20 (Q)Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 21 (R)Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they were [h]your customers for (S)lambs, rams and goats; for these they were your customers. 22 The traders of (T)Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you; they paid for your wares with the best of all kinds of (U)spices, and with all kinds of precious stones and gold. 23 Haran, Canneh, (V)Eden, the traders of Sheba, Asshur and Chilmad traded with you. 24 They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of [i]blue and embroidered work, and in carpets of many colors and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise. 25 The (W)ships of Tarshish were [j]the carriers for your merchandise.

And you were filled and were very [k]glorious
In the heart of the seas.
