25 The 1ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26 ¶ Thy arowers have brought thee 1into great waters: the 2east wind hath broken thee in the bmidst of the seas.
27 Thy 1riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, aand in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, 2shall fall into the bmidst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 The asuburbs shall 1shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29 1And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, 2shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
30 1And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall 2cast up dust upon their heads, they shall 3wallow themselves in the ashes:
31 And they shall make themselves 1utterly bald for thee, and gird them 2with sackcloth, and they shall 3weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they shall 1take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, 2What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When 1thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the 2multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34 In the time when 1thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
35 1All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
36 The merchants among the people shall 1hiss at thee; thou shalt be aa terror, and bnever shalt be any more.
