Ezekiel 27:27–36

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.

²⁸The countryside will shake

when your sailors cry out.

²⁹All who handle the oars

will abandon their ships.

The sailors and all the captains of the sea

will stand on the shore.

³⁰They will raise their voices for you

and cry out bitterly.

They will throw dust on their heads

and roll in ashes.

³¹They will shave their heads for you

and wrap themselves in sackcloth.

They will weep over you

with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.

³²As they wail and mourn over you,

they will take up a lament for you:

‘Who was ever like Tyre,

silenced in the middle of the sea?

³³When your wares went out to sea,

you satisfied many nations.

You enriched the kings of the earth

with your abundant wealth and merchandise.

³⁴Now you are shattered by the seas

in the depths of the waters;

your merchandise and the people among you

have gone down with you.

³⁵All the people of the coastlands

are appalled over you.

Their kings shudder with fear;

their faces are contorted.

³⁶Those who trade among the nations

hiss at you;

you have come to a horrible end

and will be no more.’”
