29     All oarsmen, seafarers, and pilots come down from their ships.
        They stand on the shore and gaze out to your catastrophe.
30     They mourn over you with bitter cries that drown out your screams.

        They grieve and weep over you, deeply and bitterly.

    and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(E) over you with anguish of soul
