Read in context

Ezekiel 27:31–35 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

32 As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?

33 When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.

34 Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.

35 All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.
