therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea(A) casting up its waves. They will destroy(B) the walls of Tyre(C) and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock.

32 As they wail and mourn over you,
    they will take up a lament(A) concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre,
    surrounded by the sea?(B)
33 When your merchandise went out on the seas,(C)
    you satisfied many nations;
with your great wealth(D) and your wares
    you enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now you are shattered by the sea
    in the depths of the waters;
your wares and all your company
    have gone down with you.(E)
35 All who live in the coastlands(F)
    are appalled(G) at you;
their kings shudder with horror
    and their faces are distorted with fear.(H)
36 The merchants among the nations scoff at you;(I)
    you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.(J)’”

and I reduced you to ashes(B) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.(C)
