Your mariners and pilots,
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
All your men of war who are in you,
And the entire company which is in your midst,
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.
The mariners,
All the pilots of the sea
Will come down from their ships and stand on the1 shore.
They will cry bitterly and acast dust on their heads;
They bwill roll about in ashes;
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
And weep for you
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
They will atake up a lamentation,
And lament for you:
b‘What city is like Tyre,
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?

Ezekiel 27:28
The cry of thy pilots - When the ship was dashed against the rocks by the violence of the winds and the waves, and all hope of life was taken away, then a universal cry was set up by all on board. I have heard this cry, and nothing more dismal can be imagined, when the ship by a violent tempest is driving among rocks on a lee shore. Then "All lost! cut away the boat!" is more dreadful than the cry of fire at midnight.
