"The ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise. You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26
Your oarsmen brought you into many waters, But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.
27
"Your riches, wares, and merchandise, Your mariners and pilots, Your caulkers and merchandisers, All your men of war who are in you, And the entire company which is in your midst, Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
28
The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
29

They will make their voice heard because of you; They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; They will roll about in ashes;
31

32
In their wailing for you They will take up a lamentation, And lament for you: 'What city is like Tyre, Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

34
But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters; Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.
