Ezekiel 27:25-27

The Voice

²⁵Commerce was bustling as Tarshish’s ships transported your goods. In the heart of the sea your docks were full, Tyre, and your business brought you glory and success.

Tarshish was probably located in what is southern Spain today, so Tyre’s commercial reach extended to the other side of the Mediterranean.

²⁶    Expert seafarers row you out into the high seas;
        there, a squall from the east shatters you in the heart of the sea!
²⁷    All is lost: your treasures and goods and products
        along with all crew aboard—seafarers, pilots, carpenters, traders, and soldiers.
    Everyone and everything will sink into the heart of the sea
        when the ship is wrecked.
