Ezekiel 27:30

A Lament For Doomed Tyre

²⁹ All those who handle an oar
disembark from their ships.
The sailors and all the captains of the sea
stand on the shore.
³⁰ They raise their voices over you
and cry out bitterly.
They throw dust on their heads;
they roll in ashes.
³¹ They shave their heads because of you
and wrap themselves in sackcloth.
They weep over you
with deep anguish and bitter mourning.
