The Shipwreck and Global Mourning

26

Your oarsmen brought you through heavy seas. But the east wind will break you surrounded by the sea.

27

Your riches, your goods, your merchandise, your crew, your pilots, your ship-sealers, your traders, all your warriors aboard, and all the others in the ship with you will sink surrounded by the sea on the day of your shipwreck.

28

When they hear the cries of your pilots, the mainland coasts will tremble.

29

The oarsmen, crew and pilots will disembark and stand on shore,

30

mourning aloud at your fate, crying bitterly, throwing dust on their heads, rolling in the ashes,

31

shaving their heads bald for you, wrapping themselves in sackcloth, with heartfelt bitterness weeping for you in bitter lamentation.

32

Wailing, they will raise a lament for you; this will be their lament for you: "'"Who anywhere in the sea has ever been silenced like Tzor?

33

When your wares came forth from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your vast wealth and variety of goods you enriched the kings of the earth.

34

But now you have been wrecked by the waves, sunk in the watery depths; your merchandise and all your people have gone down with you.

35

All who live along the coasts are aghast at you; their kings are horribly afraid, their faces are convulsed;

36

the merchants among the peoples are gasping at your fate; you are an object of terror, and you will cease to exist."'"
