30     mourning for you.
They show their sorrow
by putting dust on their heads
    and rolling in ashes;
31 they shave their heads
and dress in sackcloth[a]
    as they cry in despair.
32 In their grief they sing
    a funeral song for you:
“Tyre, you were greater
    than all other cities.
But now you lie in silence
    at the bottom of the sea.[b]

33 “Nations that received
your merchandise
    were always pleased;
kings everywhere got rich
    from your costly goods.
34 But now you are wrecked
    in the deep sea,
with your cargo and crew
    scattered everywhere.
