4. Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders have made your beauty perfect.
5. They built all your planks from fir trees of Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to fashion a mast for you.
6. They made your oars from the oaks of Bashan; they made your benches of ivory from the company of Ashurites from the islands of Kittim.

8. Residents of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers; your wise men, Tyre, were in you—they were your pilots.

26. Your rowers brought you into great waters; the east wind broke you in the heart of the seas.
27. Your riches, your wares, your merchandise, your sailors, your pilots, your menders of breaches, your traders in your merchandise, all your warriors who are in you, and all your company in your midst, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your ruin.
28. The suburbs will quake at the sound of your pilots' cry.
29. All the oarsmen, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea will come down from their ships; they will stand on the land.
30. They will make their voice heard over you and cry out bitterly, casting up dust upon their heads, and they will roll themselves in the ashes.
31. They will make themselves completely bald for you, gird themselves with sackcloth, and weep for you with embittered souls in bitter mourning.
32. In their wailing they will raise a dirge for you and keen over you: "Who rivals Tyre, like the one silenced in the heart of the sea?"

34. When you were broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, your merchandise and all your company fell in your midst.
