Ezekiel 27:25-36

Ezekiel 27:25-36 TPT

“ ‘Heavily loaded Spanish ships carried your wares in the heart of the seas. Your oarsmen rowed you out to the open sea. Stormy east winds wrecked you and sent you to the bottom of the sea. On the day of your shipwreck, your riches, your goods, your cargo, your seamen, your sailors, your caulkers, your dealers, all the warriors you carry, and all the passengers who are aboard will sink into the heart of the sea! When they hear the shouts of your drowning sailors, the people on shore will tremble with fear. All the oarsmen will abandon ship; the seamen and sailors will come ashore. They will wail aloud over you and weep bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads in mourning and lie in ashes. They will shave their heads in sorrow for you and dress themselves in sackcloth. They will weep bitterly for you, Tyre, with heartfelt sorrow over your fall. Grieving, they will chant a funeral song for you, and wail with lament over you, saying: “Who is like Tyre, like a tower surrounded by the sea?” When you exported your goods to satisfy so many peoples with the abundance of your wealth and wares you enriched the kings of the earth. Now you are broken to pieces by the waves; you lie at the bottom of the sea. Your cargo and all your crew have foundered with you. Those who dwell on the coast and the islands are stunned at your fate. Horror is written on the faces of their kings, and their hair stands on end. Your trading partners hiss at you in scorn, for you have come to a dreadful end. You are gone forever, never to return!’ ”
