Ezekiel 27:21-36
21Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your business partners, trading with you in lambs, rams, and goats.
22The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you. For your merchandise they exchanged the best of all spices and all kinds of precious stones as well as gold.
23Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad traded with you.
24They were your merchants in choice garments, cloaks of blue and embroidered materials, and multicolored carpets, which were bound and secured with cords in your marketplace.
25Ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your goods. “‘So you became full and heavily loaded in the heart of the sea.
26Your rowers have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the sea.
27Your wealth, merchandise, and goods, your sailors and captains, those who repair your leaks, those who barter for your goods, and all the warriors on board, with all the other people within you, sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.
28“‘The countryside shakes at the sound of your sailors’ cries.
29All the oarsmen disembark from their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea stand on the shore.
30Because of you, they raise their voices and cry out bitterly. They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes.
31They shave their heads because of you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They weep over you with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
32“‘In their wailing they lament for you, mourning over you: “Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?
33When your merchandise was unloaded from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods.
34Now you are wrecked by the sea in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people within you have gone down.
35All the inhabitants of the coasts and islands are appalled at you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.
36Those who trade among the peoples scoff at you; you have become an object of horror and will never exist again.”’”
