Ezekiel 27:25–36

²⁵“The ^aships of Tarshish were ¹the carriers for your merchandise.

And you were filled and were very ²glorious

In the heart of the seas.

²⁶“Your rowers have brought you

Into ^agreat waters;

The ^beast wind has broken you

In the heart of the seas.

²⁷“Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise,

Your sailors and your pilots,

Your repairers of seams, your dealers in merchandise

And all your men of war who are in you,

With all your company that is in your midst,

Will fall into the heart of the seas

On the day of your overthrow.

²⁸“At the sound of the cry of your pilots

The pasture lands will ^ashake.

²⁹“All who handle the oar,

The ^asailors and all the pilots of the sea

Will come down from their ships;

They will stand on the land,

³⁰And they will ^amake their voice heard over you

And will cry bitterly.

They will ^bcast dust on their heads,

They will ^cwallow in ashes.

³¹“Also they will make themselves ^abald for you

And ^bgird themselves with sackcloth;

And they will ^cweep for you in bitterness of soul

With bitter mourning.

³²“Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a ^alamentation for you

And lament over you:

‘Who is like Tyre,

Like her who is silent in the midst of the sea?

³³‘When your wares went out from the seas,

You satisfied many peoples;

With the ^aabundance of your wealth and your merchandise

You enriched the kings of earth.

³⁴‘¹Now that you are ^abroken by the seas

In the depths of the waters,

Your ^bmerchandise and all your company

Have fallen in the midst of you.

³⁵‘All the ^ainhabitants of the coastlands

Are appalled at you,

And their kings are horribly afraid;

They are troubled in countenance.

³⁶‘The merchants among the peoples ^ahiss at you;

You have become ¹terrified

And you ^bwill cease to be forever.’ ” ’ ”
