Esekiel 27,7

EgyptElishah
Money and wealth

5 De laget alt ditt tømmer av einer fra Senir;
en seder fra Libanon ble tatt
for å lage en mast for deg.

6 Av eik fra Basan
laget de dine årer;
dekket ditt var innlagt med elfenben fra buksbom
fra Kypros' kyster.

Ditt seil var av fint brodert lin fra Egypt,
som tjente som ditt banner;
dine markiser var av blått og purpur
fra Elishahs kyster.

8 Innbyggerne i Sidon og Arvad var dine roere;
dine vise menn, Tyrus, var ombord som dine sjømenn.

9 De eldste i Gebal og deres dyktige menn var hos deg,
til å kalfatre dine sømmer.
Alle havets skip og deres sjømenn
var hos deg for å handle med dine varer.

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.
