Ezekiel 27:31-33
New English Translation
31 they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth,
and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.[a]
32 As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:
“Who was like Tyre, like a tower[b] in the midst of the sea?”
33 When your products went out from the seas,
you satisfied many peoples;
with the abundance of your wealth and merchandise
you enriched the kings of the earth.
