²⁷Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.

²⁸Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.

²⁹And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:

³⁰And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads and shall be sprinkled with ashes.

³¹And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping.

³²And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and shall lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea?

³³Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth.

³⁴Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.

³⁵All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance.

³⁶The merchants of people have hissed at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
