27:29They will descend from their ships—all who handle the oar,
the sailors and all the sea captains—they will stand on the land.
27:30They will lament loudly33 over you and cry bitterly.
They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes;34
27:31they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth,
and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.35
27:32As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:
“Who was like Tyre, like a tower36 in the midst of the sea?”
Footnotes
- 33 Heb “make heard over you with their voice.”
- 34 Note a similar expression to “roll in the ashes” in Mic 1:10.
- 35 Heb “and they will weep concerning you with bitterness of soul, (with) bitter mourning.”
- 36 As it stands, the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The translation follows the suggestion of M. Dahood, “Accadian-Ugaritic dmt in Ezekiel 27:32,” 45 (1964): 83–84. Several other explanations and emendations have been offered. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (), 2:, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (), 2:, for a list of options.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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?

NIVNew International Version (2011)
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
disembark from their ships.
The sailors and all the captains of the sea
stand on the shore.
Because of you, they raise their voices
and cry out bitterly.
They throw dust on their heads;
they roll in ashes.
They shave their heads because of you
and wrap themselves in sackcloth.
They weep over you
with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
“ ‘In their wailing they lament for you,
mourning over you:
“Who was like Tyre,
silenced in the middle of the sea?

NLTNew Living Translation
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?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
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?
