27.29 :Shall come down from their ships,
 * They shall stand upon the land,
 * And shall cause their voice to be heard over thee,
 * And shall cry bitterly,
 * And shall cast up dust upon their heads,
 * They shall roll themselves in the ashes;
 * And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee,
 * And gird them with sackcloth,

 * And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee,
 * And lament over thee:
 * Who was there like Tyre, fortified
 * In the midst of the sea?
 * When thy wares came forth out of the seas,

 * Into thy treasures;
 * In thy great wisdom by thy traffic
 * Hast thou increased thy riches,
 * And thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches—
 * Therefore thus saith the Lord :
 * Because thou hast set thy heart
 * As the heart of God;
 * Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee,

 * Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee:
 * I am God?
 * But thou art man, and not God,
 * In the hand of them that defile thee.
