33When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your abundant wealth and your merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth.

34At the time you were broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your assembly in your midst fell.

35All the inhabitants of the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings shudder with horror; their faces are convulsed.

36Merchants among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a horror, and you will be no more forever.
