Ezekiel 27:27-34

27Your riches, your wares, your merchandise Your oarsmen and your pilots, Your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are with you, With all your company that is in your midst, Will sink in the heart of the seas On the day of your ruin.

28The pasture lands and the countryside will shake At the [piercing] sound of the [hopeless, wailing] cry of your pilots.

29All who handle the oar, The mariners and all the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the shore,

30And they will make their voice heard [as they wail loudly] over you And they will cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads; They will wallow in ashes.

31And they will make themselves [completely] bald for you And wrap themselves in sackcloth; And in bitterness of soul they will weep for you With bitter mourning and wailing.

32In their wailing they will take up a dirge (funeral poem to be sung) for you And sing a dirge for you: ‘Who is like Tyre, Like her who is silent [destroyed] in the midst of the sea?

33When your wares went out to the sea, You met the desire, and the demand, and the necessities of many people; You enriched the kings of the earth With your abundant wealth and merchandise.

34Now you are shattered by the seas In the depths of the waters; Your merchandise and all your crew Have gone down with you.
