New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 27
28 Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror.
29 All the oarsmen abandon their ships; the sailors and pilots on shore come to stand on the beach.
30 They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
31 They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning.
32 As they wail and mourn over you, they sing this sad funeral song: ‘Was there ever such a city as Tyre, now silent at the bottom of the sea?
33 The merchandise you traded satisfied the desires of many nations. Kings at the ends of the earth were enriched by your trade.
34 Now you are a wrecked ship, broken at the bottom of the sea. All your merchandise and crew have gone down with you.
35 All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.
36 The merchants among the nations shake their heads at the sight of you, for you have come to a horrible end and will exist no more.’”
Ezekiel 28
1 Then this message came to me from the LORD:
2 “Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign LORD: “In your great pride you claim, ‘I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.’ But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
