²⁷ Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your sailors, your pilots, your caulkers,
the traders of your merchandise,
all your men of war that are in you,
with all your company in your midst
will fall into the heart of the seas
on the day of your downfall.
²⁸ At the sound of the cry of your pilots
the countryside will shake.
²⁹ All the oarsmen, the sailors
and all the mariners of the sea
will come down from their ships
to stand on the ground.
³⁰ They will raise their voices over you
and cry bitterly.
They will throw up dust on their heads.
They will roll themselves in ashes.
³¹ They will shave themselves bald for you
and put on sackcloth.
They will weep for you with bitter soul,
with bitter lament.
