Read in context

Ezekiel 27:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 Your wealth, wares, and merchandise, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.

28 The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.

29 All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.

30 They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.

31 They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.
