Ezekiel 27:27-34
New King James Version
27 “Your (A)riches, wares, and merchandise,
Your mariners and pilots,
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
All your men of war who are in you,
And the entire company which is in your midst,
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
28 The (B)common-land[a] will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.
29 “All (C)who handle the oar,
The mariners,
All the pilots of the sea
Will come down from their ships and stand on the [b]shore.
30 They will make their voice heard because of you;
They will cry bitterly and (D)cast dust on their heads;
They (E)will roll about in ashes;
31 They will (F)shave themselves completely bald because of you,
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
And weep for you
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 In their wailing for you
They will (G)take up a lamentation,
And lament for you:
(H)‘What city is like Tyre,
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 ‘When(I) your wares went out by sea,
You satisfied many people;
You enriched the kings of the earth
With your many luxury goods and your merchandise.
34 But (J)you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;
(K)Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst.

New International Version
27 Your wealth,(A) merchandise and wares,
your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea(B)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(C)
when your sailors cry out.
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(D) on their heads
and roll(E) in ashes.(F)
31 They will shave their heads(G) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(H) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(I)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(J) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(K)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(L)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(M) 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.(N)
