    in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
    your mariners and (B)your pilots,

    and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your crew

    (D)on the day of your fall.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots

with your abundant wealth and merchandise
    (N)you enriched the kings of the earth.

    in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
    have sunk with you.
