Good News Bible

Ezekiel 27:31-36 Good News Bible (GNB)

31. They shave their heads for youAnd dress themselves in sackcloth.Their hearts are bitter as they weep.

32. They chant a funeral song for you:‘Who can be compared to Tyre,To Tyre now silent in the sea?

33. When your merchandise went overseas,You filled the needs of every nation.Kings were made richBy the wealth of your goods.

34. Now you are wrecked in the sea;You have sunk to the ocean depths.Your goods and all who worked for youHave vanished with you in the sea.’

35. “Everyone who lives along the coast is shocked at your fate. Even their kings are terrified, and fear is written on their faces.

36. You are gone, gone for ever, and merchants all over the world are terrified, afraid that they will share your fate.”
