²⁶ "'Thy mariners were ever bringing unto thee out of many waters. But the east wind shall overbear thee into the midst of the sea: ²⁷ so that thy wares, thy merchandise, thy riches, thy mariners, thy shipmasters, thy helpers, thy occupiers that brought the things necessary, the men of war that are in thee: Yea, and all thy commons shall perish in the midst of the sea, in the day of thy fall.

²⁸ The suburbs shall shake at the loud cry of thy shipmen. ²⁹ All whirry men, and all mariners upon the sea, shall leap out of their boats and set themselves upon the land. ³⁰ They shall lift up their voice because of thee, and make a lamentable cry. They shall cast dust upon their heads, and lie down in the ashes. ³¹ They shall shave themselves, and put sackcloth upon them for thy sake. They shall mourn for thee with heartful sorrow

³² and heavy lamentation; yea, their children also shall weep for thee. Alas, what city hath so been destroyed in the sea, as Tyre is? ³³ When thy wares and merchandise came from the seas, thou gavest all people enough. The kings of the earth hast thou made rich, through the multitude of thy wares and occupying: ³⁴ But now art thou cast down in to the deep of the sea, all thy resort of people is perished with thee. ³⁵ All they that dwell in the Isles are abashed at thee, and all their kings are afraid; yea, their faces have changed colour. ³⁶ The merchants of the nations wonder at thee, in that thou art so clean brought to naught, and comest no more up.'"
