Ezekiel 27:26-30

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁶ Your rowers have brought you out
    into the high seas.
The east wind has wrecked you
    in the heart of the seas.
²⁷ Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
    your mariners and your pilots,
your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
    and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your company
    that is in your midst,
sink into the heart of the seas
    on the day of your ruin.
²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your pilots
    the countryside shakes,
²⁹ and down from their ships
    come all that handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
    stand on the shore
³⁰ and wail aloud over you,
    and cry bitterly.
They cast dust on their heads
    and wallow in ashes;
