Ezekiel 27:25–36

²⁵“ ‘Ships from Tarshish carried your goods. 

You were like a ship filled with heavy cargo in the sea. 

²⁶Your rowers took you out to the high seas, 

and an east wind wrecked you in the sea. 

²⁷Your wealth, your merchandise, and the goods you sell, 

your mariners and your sailors, 

your caulkers and your merchants, 

your soldiers and everyone else on board 

sank into the sea when your ship was wrecked. 

²⁸“ ‘When your sailors cried out, people on the shore trembled. 

²⁹All the rowers, the sailors, 

and all the mariners came down from their ships 

and stood on the shore. 

³⁰They cried loudly and bitterly over you. 

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

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

They cried over you with bitterness and with bitter mourning. 

³²They sang a funeral song for you with loud crying: 

“Who is like Tyre, the city destroyed in the sea?” 

³³Your merchandise was sent overseas. 

You filled many people with your great wealth and your goods. 

You made the kings of the earth rich. 

³⁴Now you are wrecked in the sea, at the bottom of the sea. 

Your goods and your whole crew sank with you. 

³⁵All those who live on the coasts are horrified because of you. 

Their kings are terribly afraid. 

Their faces show their fear. 

³⁶The merchants among the nations laugh at you. 

You have come to a terrible end, 

and you will never exist again.’ ”
