26 Your oarsmen take you
    out to the high seas.
But the east wind(A) will break you to pieces
    far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(B) merchandise and wares,
    your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
    and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(C)
    on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(D)
    when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars
    will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
    will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voice
    and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust(E) on their heads
    and roll(F) in ashes.(G)
31 They will shave their heads(H) because of you
    and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(I) over you with anguish of soul
    and with bitter mourning.(J)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
    they will take up a lament(K) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
    surrounded by the sea?(L)
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(M)
    you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(N) 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.(O)

33 Woe(A) to you, destroyer,
    you who have not been destroyed!
