27 Your wealth, your goods, your wares,
    your sailors, your crew,
The caulkers of your seams,
    those who traded for your goods,
All the warriors with you,
    the whole crowd with you
Sank into the heart of the sea
    on the day of your downfall.(A)
28 At the sound of your sailors’ shouts
    the waves shudder,(B)
29 Down from their ships
    come all who ply the oars;
Sailors, all the seafaring crew,
    stand on the shore.
30 They raise their voices over you
    and shout their bitter cries;
They pour dust on their heads
    and cover themselves with ashes.
31 For you they shave their heads bald
    and put on sackcloth;
For you they weep bitterly,
    in anguished lament.(C)
32 They raise a lament for you;
    they wail over you:

    in the midst of the sea?”(D)

the mariners and all the sailors

    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)
