“So you were loaded (replenished) and heavily laden (made very glorious), in the heart of the seas.
Your rowers have brought you out, into great waters,
The east wind has broken you up, in the heart of the seas.
Your riches and your wares, your merchandise,
Your mariners and your rope-pullers,
Your caulkers and your dealers in merchandise,
And all your men of war who are in you,
With all your company, who are in your midst,
Sink into the heart of the seas, on the day of your ruin.”
The ship that set out so well equipped, and heavily laden with its goods, had proudly pulled out into deep waters. Then the east wind arose, tore at the mast and the sail and broke up the ship, while the waves pounded against them. And everything went to the bottom, their wealth and their wares, all their merchandise, their crew and their tradesmen, and all their military guard, the whole ship's company.
Note the stress on the loss of what they lived for, first their merchandise. That was the pride and joy of Tyre. And then the ship's company. So would Tyre be destroyed by the wind of God, the armies of Nebuchadnezzar.
