Ezekiel 27:30-34
Good News Translation
30 They all mourn bitterly for you,
Throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes.
31 They shave their heads for you
And dress themselves in sackcloth.
Their hearts are bitter as they weep.
32 They chant a funeral song for you:
‘Who can be compared to Tyre,
To Tyre now silent in the sea?
33 When your merchandise went overseas,
You filled the needs of every nation.
Kings were made rich
By the wealth of your goods.
34 Now you are wrecked in the sea;
You have sunk to the ocean depths.
Your goods and all who worked for you
Have vanished with you in the sea.’
Ezekiel 27:30-34

Ezekiel 27:30-34
New International Version
30 They will raise their voice
and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(A) on their heads
and roll(B) in ashes.(C)
31 They will shave their heads(D) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(E) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(F)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(G) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(H)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(I)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(J) and your wares
you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
have gone down with you.(K)

Ezekiel 27:30-34
King James Version
30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34 In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
