Ezekiel 27:26-36 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. Your rowers have brought you into many waters. The south wind has worn you down in the heart of the sea.

27. Your riches, and your treasures, and your versatile equipment, your sailors and your navigators, who handle your goods and who were first among your people, likewise your men of war, who were among you, and your entire multitude that is in your midst: they will fall in the heart of the sea on the day of your ruin.

28. Your fleets will be disturbed by the sound of an outcry from your navigators.

29. And all who were handling the oar will descend from their ships; the sailors and all the navigators of the sea will stand upon the land.

30. And they will howl over you with a great voice, and they will cry out with bitterness. And they will cast dust upon their heads, and they will be sprinkled with ashes.

31. And they will shave their heads because of you, and they will be wrapped in haircloth. And they will weep for you with bitterness of soul, with a very bitter weeping.

32. And they will take up a mournful verse over you, and they will lament you: 'What city is like Tyre, which has become mute in the midst of the sea?'

33. For by the going forth of your merchandise by sea, you supplied many peoples; by the multitude of your riches and of your people, you enriched the kings of the earth.

34. Now you have been worn away by the sea, your opulence is in the depths of the waters, and your entire multitude that was in your midst has fallen.

35. All the inhabitants of the islands have been stupefied over you; and all their kings, having been struck by the tempest, have changed their expression.

36. The merchants of the peoples have hissed over you. You have been reduced to nothing, and you shall not be again, even forever."
