Ezekiel

Ezekiel 27:30–32

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?
