into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
027:028 At the sound of the cry of your pilots the suburbs shall shake.
027:029 All who handled the oar, the mariners, [and] all the pilots
of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall
stand on the land,
027:030 and shall cause their voice to be heard over you, and shall
cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust on their heads,
they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
027:031 and they shall make themselves bald for you, and gird them
with sackcloth, and they shall weep for you in bitterness
of soul with bitter mourning.
027:032 In their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for you,
and lament over you, [saying], Who is there like Tyre,
like her who is brought to silence in the midst of the sea?
027:033 When your wares went forth out of the seas, you filled many peoples;
you did enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude

027:034 In the time that you were broken by the seas in the depths
of the waters, your merchandise and all your company did fall
