10 All of them will speak
and say to you:
“You, too, have become as weak as we!
You have become like us!”
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
and the sound of your harps;
maggots are the bed beneath you,
and worms are your covering.(A)
12 How you are fallen from heaven,
O Morning Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!(B)
13 You said to yourself,
“I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
on the heights of Zaphon;[a](C)
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.”(D)
15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
to the depths of the Pit.(E)
16 Those who see you will stare at you
and ponder over you:
“Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
who shook kingdoms,(F)

your sailors and your pilots,
your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
and all your warriors within you,
with all the company
that is with you,
sink into the heart of the seas
on the day of your ruin.(G)
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
the pasturelands shake,(H)
29 and down from their ships

The sailors and all the pilots of the sea
stand on the shore(I)
30 and wail aloud over you
and cry bitterly.
They throw dust on their heads
and wallow in ashes;(J)

and put on sackcloth,

25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(N) serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
as you sail the sea.(O)
26 Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind(P) will break you to pieces
far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(Q) 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(R)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(S)
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(T) on their heads
and roll(U) in ashes.(V)
31 They will shave their heads(W) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(X) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(Y)

they will take up a lament(Z) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(AA)”
