The metaphorical ship has gone out into the high seas, but a +storm has come up out of the east against it. All of the goods it was +transporting, the payments it had received, and all of its stores are lost as +it sinks. The crew that manned the ship, the officers that commanded them, the +pilots who drove it, and the mariners that defended it are also lost. + +Every hand that drowns cries out as he sinks, and their combined sound causes +the far-off countryside to shake. Those who follow the way of the sea hear the +noise of their sinking, and they cry out in dismay. They mourn because the +paragons of their profession could not withstand the trouble that came upon +them. If Tyre could not survive the tumult, what chance would they have? + +Tyre mercantile fleet garnered much wealth for itself, but also enriched its +trading partners too. Now there is a void and everyone who benefitted from +Tyre's industry feels the lack. + +* * * + +You know the consequences of all Your actions, and You have orchestrated all +things together for Your purposes.
