Bible verse
They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
Ezekiel 27:30 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 27.
26 Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.
27 Your wealth, wares, and merchandise, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.
28 The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.
29 All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.
30 They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
31 They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.
32 As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?
33 When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.
34 Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.
