"The ^(C1)ships of Tarshish were ^(F1)the carriers for your merchandise. And you were filled and were very ^(F2)glorious In the heart of the seas.

"Your rowers have brought you Into ^(C1)great waters; The ^(C2)east wind has broken you In the heart of the seas.

-"Your wealth, your wares, your merchandise, Your seamen and your sailors, Your repairers of leaks, your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are in you, With all your contingent that is in your midst, Will fall into the heart of the seas On the day of your overthrow.

-"At the sound of the cry of your sailors, The pasture lands will ^(C1)shake.

-"All who handle the oar, The ^(C1)seamen and all the sailors of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the land,

And they will ^(C1)make their voice heard over you And cry out bitterly. They will ^(C2)throw dust on their heads, They will ^(C3)wallow in ashes.

-"Also they will shave themselves ^(C1)bald for you And ^(C2)put on sackcloth; And they will ^(C3)weep for you in bitterness of soul With bitter mourning.
