Ezekiel 27:27-34

27Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, your mariners and your sailors, your caulkers and your merchants, your soldiers and everyone else on board sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked.

28“ ‘When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled.

29All the rowers, the sailors, and all the mariners came down from their ships and stood on the shore.

30They cried loudly and bitterly over you. They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes.

31They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth. They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning.

32They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: “Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?”

33Your merchandise was sent overseas. You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. You made the kings of the earth rich.

34Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. Your goods and your whole crew sank with you.
