“Your rowers
Have brought you
Into the high seas.
The east wind
Has wrecked you
In the heart
Of the seas.
Your riches,
Your wares,
Your merchandise,
Your mariners
Your pilots,
Your caulkers,
Your dealers
In merchandise,
All your warriors
Within you,
With all your company
That is with you,
Sink
Into the heart
Of the seas
On the day
Of your ruin.”
The rowers of the Tyre ships brought them into the high seas. The east wind then wrecked them in the heart of the sea. All their riches, goods, and merchandise sank. Their sailors, pilots, caulk workers, trade merchant dealers, their warriors, and all their company would sink into the heart of the sea on the day of their ruin. Tyre, its ships, its people, and all its goods would sink into the choppy Mediterranean Sea.
