Ezekiel
Ezekiel 27:26–27
26Your oarsmen have brought you
onto the high seas,
but the east wind will shatter you
in the heart of the sea.
27Your wealth, wares, and merchandise,
your sailors, captains, and shipwrights,
your merchants and all the warriors within you,
with all the other people on board,
will sink into the heart of the sea
on the day of your downfall.
