28At the sound of the cry of your pilots, the pasturelands will quake.

29And all who handle the oar will come down from their ships; the sailors, all the mariners of the sea, will stand on the land.

30They will make their voice heard over you and cry out bitterly; they will throw dust on their heads; they will roll in ashes.

31They will make themselves bald for you, and put on sackcloth, and they will weep over you with bitterness of soul, with bitter mourning.

32They will raise a lamentation over you in their wailing, and they will lament over you: ‘Who is like Tyre, silenced in the midst of the sea?’
