24. These were your traders in choice wares, in wrappings of blue and embroidered work, and in chests of rich clothing, bound with cords and made of cedar, among your merchandise.
25. “‘“The ships of Tarshish were your caravans for your merchandise.You were replenishedand made very glorious in the heart of the seas.
26. Your rowers have brought you into great waters.The east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas.
27. Your riches,your wares,your merchandise,your mariners,your pilots,your repairers of ship seams,the dealers in your merchandise,and all your men of war, who are in you,with all your company which is among you,will fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
28. At the sound of the cry of your pilots,the pasture lands will shake.
29. All who handle the oars,the mariners and all the pilots of the sea,will come down from their ships.They will stand on the land,
30. and will cause their voice to be heard over you,and will cry bitterly.They will cast up dust on their heads.They will wallow in the ashes.
