Ezekiel
Ezekiel 27:32–34
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.
