Strongs On/Off

Context

27:26 Your rowers have brought you into surging waters. The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas. 27:27 Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains, your ship’s carpenters, your merchants, and all your fighting men within you, along with all your crew who are in you, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall. 27:28 At the sound of your captains’ cry the waves will surge; 27:29 They will descend from their ships– all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains– they will stand on the land. 27:30 They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes; 27:31 they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning. 27:32 As they wail they will lament over you, chanting: “Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?” 27:33 When your products went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with the abundance of your wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth. 27:34 Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk along with you. 27:35 All the inhabitants of the coastlands are shocked at you, and their kings are horribly afraid– their faces are troubled. 27:36 The traders among the peoples hiss at you; you have become a horror, and will be no more.’”
