25. “‘Trading shipscarried the things you sold.You were like a ship full of heavy cargoin the middle of the sea.
26. The men who rowed youbrought you out into the high seas.But the east wind has broken you to piecesin the middle of the sea.
27. Your wealth, your trade and the things you sell will sink.Your seamen, your sailors and your workers will sink.Your traders, your soldiers,and everyone else on boardwill sink into the sea.This will happen on the day your ship is wrecked.
28. The people on the shore will shake with fearwhen your sailors cry out.
29. All the men who rowwill leave their ships.The seamen and the sailors of other shipswill stand on the shore.
30. They will cry loudly about you.They will cry very much.They will throw dust on their heads.They will roll in ashes to show they are sad.
31. They will shave their heads for you.And they will put on rough cloth to show they are upset.They will cry very much for you.They will cry loudly.
32. And in their loud cryingthey will sing a funeral song for you.“No one was ever destroyed like Tyre,surrounded by the sea.”
33. The things you traded went out over the seas.You met the needs of many nations.With your great wealth and things you sold,you made kings of the earth rich.
