  • 2. `And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre:

  • 25. Ships of Tarshish `are' thy double walls of thy merchandise, And thou art filled and honoured greatly, In the heart of the seas.
  • 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.

  • 33. With the outgoing of thy remnants from the seas, Thou hast filled many peoples, With the abundance of thy riches, and thy merchandise, Thou hast made rich things of earth.
  • 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!'
