ISV(i)
29 Everyone who handles an oar will abandon ship, they’ll head straight for dry land,
30 and they will cry so loud you won’t be able to make yourself heard! How bitterly they’ll cry! They’ll throw dust on their heads and wallow in ashes.
31 They’ll shave their heads bald because of you. They’ll dress themselves in sackcloth and weep for you with deep bitterness of heart, with the most pitiful of mourning.
32 In the depth of their despair they’ll compose a lament for you. This is what they’ll say: ‘Who is like Tyre? Who is so silent in the midst of the sea?’
33 Your merchandise went out over the oceans to satisfy many nations; with the abundance of your wealth you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 “But now it’s your time to be wrecked at the bottom of the sea! Your products and your workers have sunk, and so have you!
35 Everyone who lives by the sea is appalled at your destruction. Their leaders are terrified— their faces reflect their fears!
36 Traders circulate among the people, hissing at you. What a horror you’ve become! Now you will cease to exist forever and ever!”
