King James Version
Ezekiel 27:25-36
King James Version
25 The ships 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 rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
27 Thy riches, 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, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29 And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
30 And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
31 And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
34 In the time when thou 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 All 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 hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.

New International Version
Ezekiel 27:25-36
New International Version
25 “‘The ships of Tarshish(A) serve
as carriers for your wares.
You are filled with heavy cargo
as you sail the sea.(B)
26 Your oarsmen take you
out to the high seas.
But the east wind(C) will break you to pieces
far out at sea.
27 Your wealth,(D) 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(E)
on the day of your shipwreck.
28 The shorelands will quake(F)
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(G) on their heads
and roll(H) in ashes.(I)
31 They will shave their heads(J) because of you
and will put on sackcloth.
They will weep(K) over you with anguish of soul
and with bitter mourning.(L)
32 As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament(M) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
surrounded by the sea?(N)”
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(O)
you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(P) 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.(Q)
35 All who live in the coastlands(R)
are appalled(S) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
and their faces are distorted with fear.(T)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(U)
you have come to a horrible end
and will be no more.(V)’”
