New International Version

Ezekiel 27:29-36 New International Version (NIV)

29. All who handle the oars will abandon their ships; the mariners and all the sailors will stand on the shore.

30. They will raise their voice and cry bitterly over you; they will sprinkle dust on their heads and roll in ashes.

31. They will shave their heads because of you and will put on sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and with bitter mourning.

32. As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament concerning you: “Who was ever silenced like Tyre, surrounded by the sea?”

33. When your merchandise went out on the seas, you satisfied many nations; with your great wealth and your wares you enriched the kings of the earth.

34. Now you are shattered by the sea in the depths of the waters; your wares and all your company have gone down with you.

35. All who live in the coastlands are appalled at you; their kings shudder with horror and their faces are distorted with fear.

36. The merchants among the nations scoff at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’ ”
