25 Ships of Tarshishe were the carriers for your goods.

“ ‘So you became full and heavily loadedB

in the heart of the sea.

26 Your rowers have brought you

onto the high seas,f

but the east wind has wrecked you

in the heart of the sea.

27 Your 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.g

29 All the oarsmen

disembark from their ships.

The sailors and all the captains of the sea

stand on the shore.

30 Because of you, they raise their voices

and cry out bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads;h

they roll in ashes.

31 They shave their heads because of you

and wrap themselves in sackcloth.

They weep over you

with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
