Ezekiel 27:29–32

and down from their ships

come all who handle the oar.

The mariners and all the pilots of the sea

stand on the land

and shout aloud over you

and cry out bitterly.

They cast dust on their heads

and wallow in ashes;

they make themselves bald for you

and put sackcloth on their waist,

and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,

with bitter mourning.

In their wailing they raise a lamentation for you

and lament over you:

‘Who is like Tyre,

like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?

All who handle the oars

will abandon their ships;

the mariners and all the sailors

will stand on the shore.

They will raise their voice

and cry bitterly over you;

they will sprinkle dust on their heads

and roll in ashes.

They will shave their heads because of you

and will put on sackcloth.

They will weep over you with anguish of soul

and with bitter mourning.

As they wail and mourn over you,

they will take up a lament concerning you:

“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,

surrounded by the sea?”

All the oarsmen abandon their ships;

the sailors and pilots stand on the shore.

They cry aloud over you

and weep bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads

and roll in ashes.

They shave their heads in grief for you

and dress themselves in burlap.

They weep for you with bitter anguish

and deep mourning.

As they wail and mourn over you,

they sing this sad funeral song:

‘Was there ever such a city as Tyre,

now silent at the bottom of the sea?

And they will go down from their ships,

all of those holding an oar,

mariners, all of the seamen of the sea

will stand on the land,

and they will lament over you with their voice,

and they will cry out bitterly,

and they will throw dust on their heads,

and they will roll in the dust.

They will shave themselves bald for your sake,

and they will dress themselves in sackcloth,

and they will weep over you with a bitterness of soul

and with bitter wailing.

And they will raise over you with their wailing a lament,

and they will chant a lament over you:

‘Who is like Tyre,

like this destruction in the midst of the sea?’

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
