New King James Version

Ezekiel 27:28-36 New King James Version (NKJV)

28. The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

29. “All who handle the oar,The mariners,All the pilots of the seaWill come down from their ships and stand on the shore.

30. They will make their voice heard because of you;They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads;They will roll about in ashes;

31. They will shave themselves completely bald because of you,Gird themselves with sackcloth,And weep for youWith bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

32. In their wailing for youThey will take up a lamentation,And lament for you:‘What city is like Tyre,Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

33. ‘When your wares went out by sea,You satisfied many people;You enriched the kings of the earthWith your many luxury goods and your merchandise.

34. But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.

35. All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;Their kings will be greatly afraid,And their countenance will be troubled.

36. The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you;You will become a horror, and be no more forever.’ ” ’ ”
