Ezekiel 27:26-36

26 in aquis multis adduxerunt te remiges tui ventus auster contrivit te in corde maris

27 divitiae tuae et thesauri tui et multiplex instrumentum tuum nautae tui et gubernatores tui qui tenebant supellectilem tuam et populo tuo praeerant viri quoque bellatores tui qui erant in te cum universa multitudine tua quae est in medio tui cadent in corde maris in die ruinae tuae

28 a sonitu clamoris gubernatorum tuorum conturbabuntur classes

29 et descendent de navibus suis omnes qui tenebant remum nautae et universi gubernatores maris in terra stabunt

30 et heiulabunt super te voce magna et clamabunt amare et superiacient pulverem capitibus suis et cinere conspergentur

31 et radent super te calvitium et accingentur ciliciis et plorabunt te in amaritudine animae ploratu amarissimo

32 et adsument super te carmen lugubre et plangent te quae est ut Tyrus quae obmutuit in medio maris

33 quae in exitu negotiationum tuarum de mari implesti populos multos in multitudine divitiarum tuarum et populorum tuorum ditasti reges terrae

34 nunc contrita es a mari in profundis aquarum opes tuae et omnis multitudo tua quae erat in medio tui ceciderunt

35 universi habitatores insularum obstipuerunt super te et reges earum omnes tempestate perculsi mutaverunt vultus

36 negotiatores populorum sibilaverunt super te ad nihilum deducta es et non eris usque in perpetuum
