Ezekiel 27:29–31

29 All who handle the oars

will abandon their ships;

the mariners and all the sailors

will stand on the shore.

30 They will raise their voice

and cry bitterly over you;

they will sprinkle dust on their heads

and roll in ashes.

31 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.

29 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; 30 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: 31 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.

29 All the oarsmen abandon their ships;

the sailors and pilots stand on the shore.

30 They cry aloud over you

and weep bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads

and roll in ashes.

31 They shave their heads in grief for you

and dress themselves in burlap.

They weep for you with bitter anguish

and deep mourning.

29 “All who handle the oar,

The mariners,

All the pilots of the sea

Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore.

30 They will make their voice heard because of you;

They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads;

They will roll about in ashes;

31 They will shave themselves completely bald because of you,

Gird themselves with sackcloth,

And weep for you

With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

29 All the men who row

leave their ships;

the seamen and the sailors of other ships

stand on the shore.

30 They cry loudly about you;

they cry very much.

They throw dust on their heads

and roll in ashes to show they are sad.

31 They shave their heads for you,

and they put on rough cloth to show they are upset.

They cry and sob for you;

they cry loudly.

29 And all that handled the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land, 30 and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: 31 and they shall make themselves bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.

29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land, 30 and shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly; and they shall cast up dust upon their heads; they shall wallow themselves in ashes. 31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter mourning.

29 All the rowers, the sailors, 

and all the mariners came down from their ships 

and stood on the shore. 

30 They cried loudly and bitterly over you. 

They put dust on their heads and covered themselves with ashes. 

31 They shaved their heads because of you and put on sackcloth. 

They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning. 

29 All those who handle an oar

disembark from their ships.

The sailors and all the captains of the sea

stand on the shore.

30 They raise their voices over you

and cry out bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads;

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.

29 and down from their ships

come all who handle the oar.

The sailors and all the pilots of the sea

stand on the shore

30 and wail aloud over you

and cry bitterly.

They throw dust on their heads

and wallow in ashes;

31 they make themselves bald for you

and put on sackcloth,

and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,

with bitter mourning.

29 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,

30 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.

31 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.

29 All those who man the oars

will desert their ships.

The sailors and all of the officers

will stand on the shore.

30 They will raise their voices.

They will cry bitterly over you.

They will sprinkle dust on their heads.

They will roll in ashes.

31 They will shave their heads because of you.

And they will put on black clothes.

They will sob over you.

Their spirits will be greatly troubled.

They will be very sad.

29 “All who handle the oar,

The sailors and all the pilots of the sea

Will come down from their ships;

They will stand on the land,

30 And they will make their voice heard over you

And will cry bitterly.

They will cast dust on their heads,

They will wallow in ashes.

31 “Also they will make themselves bald for you

And gird themselves with sackcloth;

And they will weep for you in bitterness of soul

With bitter mourning.
