Ezekiel 27:21-32 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

21. " ' "Arabia and all of the princes of Kedar bought goods from you. They traded you lambs, rams and goats for them.

22. " ' "Traders from Sheba and Raamah did business with you. They traded the finest spices, jewels and gold for your goods.

23. " ' "Haran, Canneh and Eden did business with you. So did traders from Sheba, Asshur and Kilmad.

24. In your market place they traded beautiful clothes, blue cloth, and needlework to you. They also traded colorful rugs that had twisted cords and tight knots.

25. " ' "The ships of Tarshish carry your products. You are like a ship filled with a heavy load in the middle of the sea.

26. The sailors who man your oars take you out to the high seas. But the east wind will break you in pieces in the middle of the sea.

27. You will be wrecked on that day. Your wealth, goods and products will sink deep into the sea. So will your sailors, officers, carpenters, traders and all of your soldiers. Anyone else on board will sink too.

28. The lands along the coast will shake when your officers cry out.

29. All those who man the oars will desert their ships. The sailors and all of the officers will stand on the shore.

30. They will raise their voices. They will cry bitterly over you. They will sprinkle dust on their heads. They will roll in ashes.

31. They will shave their heads because of you. And they will put on black clothes. They will sob over you. Their spirits will be greatly troubled. They will be very sad.

32. As they sob and cry over you, they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say, 'Who was ever like Tyre? It was destroyed in the sea.'
