Ezekiel 27:25–36

²⁵The ships of Tarshish were carrying for you your wares, and you were filled, and you became very heavy in the heart of the seas.

²⁶“ ‘Into many waters

the rowers brought you;

but the east wind^z wrecked you

in the heart of the seas.

²⁷Your wealth and your merchandise, your wares,

your mariners, and your seamen,

your shipwrights^a and the barterers of your wares

and all of your soldiers^b who are in you,

along^c with all of your crew who are in the midst of you,

they will fall in the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall.

²⁸At the sound of the shout^d of your seamen,

the pasturelands will shake.

²⁹And 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,

³⁰and they will lament^e over you with their voice,

and they will cry out^f bitterly,

and they will throw^g dust on their heads,

and they will roll^h in the dust.

³¹They will shave themselves bald for your sake,ⁱ

and they will dress^j themselves in sackcloth,

and they will weep^k over you with a bitterness of soul^l

and with bitter wailing.

³²And they will raise^m over you with their wailing a lament,

and they will chantⁿ a lament over you:

‘Who is like Tyre,

like this destruction in the midst of the sea?’

³³When your merchandise went out from the seas,

you satisfied many peoples with the abundance of your wealth,

and by your wares

you made rich the kings of the world.

³⁴Now you are broken by seas

in the depths of waters;

your wares and all of your crew

in the midst of you have sunk.

³⁵All of the inhabitants of the coastlands

are appalled over you,

and their kings shudder^o in horror;

they distort their faces!^p

³⁶The traders among the peoples hiss over you;

you have become a horror,

and you shall be no more forever!’ ”^q
