29 And they will go down from their ships,
    all of those holding an oar,
mariners, all of the seamen of the sea
    will stand on the land,
30 and they will lament[a] over you with their voice,
    and they will cry out[b] bitterly,
and they will throw[c] dust on their heads,
    and they will roll[d] in the dust.
31 They will shave themselves bald for your sake,[e]
    and they will dress[f] themselves in sackcloth,
and they will weep[g] over you with a bitterness of soul[h]
    and with bitter wailing.
