27 Your goods, your wares, your wealth,your sailors, your helmsmen, those patching your leaks,your merchants, all your warriors in you,and all the company that is with you—they also sank into the sea’s depthon the day of your demise.
28 At your helmsmen’s cries for help,the troubled waters seethe.
29 Those entrusted with the oars desert their posts.All sailors and helmsmen seek footing on the shore.
30 Loudly they cry,bitterly they wail,and they put dust on their headsand cover themselves with ashes.
31 They cut off all their hairand put on mourning clothes.In despair they weep for you,and bitterly perform the mourning rites.
32 In their lamentation they raise a lament for you;they sing lamentions over you:"Who was like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?"
33 When your wares came out from the seas,you satisfied many people.Your abundant wealth and merchandiseenriched the kings of the earth.
