Ezekiel 27:23

²¹ Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers, trading in lambs, rams, and goats.

²² The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your wares they exchanged gold, the finest of all spices, and precious stones.

Haran, Canneh, and Eden traded with you, and so did the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad.

²⁴ In your marketplace they traded with you fine garments of blue, embroidered work, and multicolored rugs with cords tightly twisted and knotted.

²⁵ The ships of Tarshish carried your merchandise. And you were filled with heavy cargo in the heart of the sea.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
