- 26. Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.
- 27. Thy wealth and thy remnants, Thy merchandise, thy mariners, And thy pilots, strengtheners of thy breach, And the traders of thy merchandise, And all thy men of war, who `are' in thee, And in all thine assembly that `is' in thy midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall,
- 28. At the voice of the cry of thy pilots shake do the suburbs.
- 29. And come down from their ships have all handling an oar, Mariners, all the pilots of the sea, on the land they stand,
- 30. And have sounded for thee with their voice, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, In ashes they do roll themselves.
- 31. And they have made for thee baldness, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for thee, In bitterness of soul -- a bitter mourning.
- 32. And lifted up for thee have their sons a lamentation, And they have lamented over thee, who `is' as Tyre? As the cut-off one in the midst of the sea?

- 34. The time of `thy' being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Thy merchandise and all thy assembly in thy midst have fallen.
- 35. All inhabitants of the isles have been astonished at thee, And their kings have been sore afraid, They have been troubled in countenance.
- 36. Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not -- to the age!'
