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.
34 Now you are shattered by the seas;your cargoes, as well as everyone in your company,are sunk into the water’s depths.
35 Now the inhabitants of the coastlandsshudder on account of you.And as for their kings, their hair stands on end;their faces betray their horror.
