24 They traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of violet and colorfully woven cloth, and in blankets of two colors, and tightly wound cords, which were among your merchandise. 25 The (A)ships of Tarshish were [a]the carriers for your merchandise.

And you were filled and were very [b]glorious
In the heart of the seas.

26 “Your rowers have brought you
Into (B)great waters;
The (C)east wind has broken you
In the heart of the seas.
27 Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise,
Your seamen and your sailors,
Your repairers of leaks, your dealers in merchandise,
And all your men of war who are in you,
With all your contingent that is in your midst,
Will fall into the heart of the seas
On the day of your overthrow.
28 At the sound of the cry of your sailors,
The pasture lands will (D)shake.

The (E)seamen and all the sailors of the sea
Will come down from their ships;
They will stand on the land,
30 And they will (F)make their voice heard over you
And cry out bitterly.
They will (G)throw dust on their heads,
They will (H)wallow in ashes.
31 Also they will shave themselves (I)bald for you
And (J)put on sackcloth;
And they will (K)weep for you in bitterness of soul
With bitter mourning.
32 Moreover, in their wailing they will take up a (L)song of mourning for you
And sing a song of mourning over you:
‘Who is like Tyre,
Like her who is silent in the midst of the sea?
