¹⁴ Wail, you ships^(A) of Tarshish;^(B)
    your fortress is destroyed!^(C)

²⁶ Your oarsmen take you
    out to the high seas.
But the east wind^(A) will break you to pieces
    far out at sea.
²⁷ Your wealth,^(B) merchandise and wares,
    your mariners, sailors and shipwrights,
your merchants and all your soldiers,
    and everyone else on board
will sink into the heart of the sea^(C)
    on the day of your shipwreck.
²⁸ The shorelands will quake^(D)
    when your sailors cry out.
²⁹ All who handle the oars
    will abandon their ships;
the mariners and all the sailors
    will stand on the shore.
³⁰ They will raise their voice
    and cry bitterly over you;
they will sprinkle dust^(E) on their heads
    and roll^(F) in ashes.^(G)
