25 "The 1ships of Tarshish were the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very glorious In the heart of the seas.
26 "Your rowers have brought you Into 2great waters; The 3east 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 4shake.
29 "All who handle the oar, The 5sailors and all the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the land,
30 And they will 6make their voice heard over you And will cry bitterly. They will 7cast dust on their heads, They will 8wallow in ashes.
31 "Also they will make themselves 9bald * for you And 10gird themselves with sackcloth; And they will 11weep for you in bitterness of soul With bitter mourning.
32 "Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a 12lamentation 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 13abundance of your wealth and your merchandise You enriched the kings of earth.
34 'Now that you are 14broken by the seas In the depths of the waters, Your 15merchandise and all your company Have fallen in the midst of you.
35 'All the 16inhabitants of the coastlands Are appalled at you, And their kings are horribly afraid; They are troubled in countenance.
