“They will make themselves bald for you,and clothe themselves with sackcloth.They will weep for you in bitterness of soul,with bitter mourning.”
Ezekiel 27:31 (WEB)
Context Reading
29All who handle the oars,the mariners and all the pilots of the sea,will come down from their ships.They will stand on the land, 30and will cause their voice to be heard over you,and will cry bitterly.They will cast up dust on their heads.They will wallow in the ashes. 31They will make themselves bald for you,and clothe themselves with sackcloth.They will weep for you in bitterness of soul,with bitter mourning. 32In their wailing they will take up a lamentation for you,and lament over you, saying,‘Who is there like Tyre,like her who is brought to silence in the middle of the sea?’ 33When your wares came from the seas,you filled many peoples.You enriched the kings of the earthwith the multitude of your riches and of your merchandise.
