'Business' in the Bible

The wise men and elders from Gebal accompanied you, serving as ship's carpenters. All the maritime navies and their seaman also accompanied you to assist you in doing business internationally."

"Tarshish was your business partner because of your phenomenal wealth. They traded silver, iron, tin, and lead for your merchandise.

The men of Rodan were your traders: a great number of sea-lands did business with you: they gave you horns of ivory and ebony as an offering.

Edom did business with you because of the great number of things which you made; they gave emeralds, purple, and needlework, and the best linen and coral and rubies for your goods.

Damascus did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth, with wine of Helbon and white wool.

Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats.

Haran, Canneh, Eden, merchants from Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad did business with you,

Tarshish ships did business for you in your goods: and you were made full, and great was your glory in the heart of the seas.

Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.

Since your vast business dealings filled you with violent intent from top to bottom, you sinned, so I cast you away as defiled from the mountain of God. I destroyed you, you guardian cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones.
