Ezekiel 27:25–36

^25mThe ships of ⁿTarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden ^oin the heart of the seas.

²⁶“Your rowers have brought you out

into the high seas.

^pThe east wind has wrecked you

in the heart of the seas.

²⁷Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,

your mariners and ^qyour pilots,

^ryour caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,

and all your men of war who are in you,

with all your crew

that is in your midst,

sink into the heart of the seas

^son the day of your fall.

²⁸At the sound of the cry of your pilots

^tthe countryside shakes,

²⁹and down from their ships

^ucome all who handle the oar.

The mariners and all the pilots of the sea

stand on the land

^30uand shout aloud over you

and cry out bitterly.

^vThey cast dust on their heads

^wand wallow in ashes;

³¹they ^xmake themselves bald for you

and put sackcloth on their waist,

and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,

with bitter mourning.

³²In their wailing they ^yraise a lamentation for you

and lament over you:

^z‘Who is like Tyre,

like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?

³³When your wares came from the seas,

^ayou satisfied many peoples;

with your abundant wealth and merchandise

^ayou enriched the kings of the earth.

³⁴Now ^byou are wrecked by the seas,

in the depths of the waters;

your merchandise and all your crew in your midst

have sunk with you.

^35cAll the inhabitants of the coastlands

are appalled at you,

and ^dthe hair of their kings bristles with horror;

their faces are convulsed.

^36eThe merchants among the peoples ^fhiss at you;

^gyou have come to a dreadful end

and shall be no more forever.’ ”
