25 Ships of Tarshish sailed on your business; you were ful and heavily loaded far out to sea.	25 The ships of the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise : and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly in the heart of the sea.
26 Out to the open sea your oarsmen rowed you. The east wind has wrecked you far out to sea.	26 Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee in the heart of the sea.
27 Your riches, your goods, your cargo, your seamen, your sailors, your caulkers, your commercialagents, all the warriors you carry, and al the passengers who are aboard wil founder far out to sea on the day ofyour shipwreck.	27 Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.
28 When they hear the cries of your sailors the coasts wil tremble.	28 Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29 Then the oarsmen will al desert their ships. The sailors and seafaring people wil stay ashore.	29 And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:
30 They will raise their voices for you and weep bitterly. They wil throw dust on their heads and roll inashes;	30 And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice, and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads, and shall be sprinkled with ashes.
31 they wil shave their heads for you and put sackcloth round their waists. With heartfelt bitterness theywil weep for you, bitterly wail.	31 And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping.
32 Wailing, they will raise the lament for you, they wil lament over you: Who is like Tyre, far out to sea?	32 And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and snail lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea?

34 Now you have been wrecked by the waves, by the depths of the sea. Your cargo and all yourpassengers have foundered with you.	34 Now thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.
35 Al those who live in the islands wil be stunned at your fate. Their kings wil quake with horror, withdowncast expressions.	35 All the inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance.
