Ezekiel 27:28

Money and wealth

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.

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.

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
