Ezekiel 26:16-21
New American Standard Bible
16 Then all the princes of the sea will (A)descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their colorfully woven garments. They will (B)clothe themselves with [a]trembling; they will sit on the ground, (C)tremble again and again, and be appalled at you. 17 And they will take up a (D)song of mourning over you and say to you,
‘(E)How you have perished, you inhabited one,
From the seas, you famous city,
Which was (F)mighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who imposed [b]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
18 Now the (G)coastlands will tremble
On the day of your downfall;
Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
Will be horrified at your (H)passing.’”
19 For this is what the Lord God says: “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I (I)bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you, 20 then I will bring you down with those who (J)go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you remain in the (K)lower parts of the earth, like the ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not [c]be inhabited; but I will put (L)glory in the land of the living. 21 I will [d]cause you (M)sudden terrors and you will no longer exist; though you will be sought, (N)you will never be found again,” declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 26:16-21
New International Version
16 Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered(A) garments. Clothed(B) with terror, they will sit on the ground,(C) trembling(D) every moment, appalled(E) at you. 17 Then they will take up a lament(F) concerning you and say to you:
“‘How you are destroyed, city of renown,
peopled by men of the sea!
You were a power on the seas,
you and your citizens;
you put your terror
on all who lived there.(G)
18 Now the coastlands tremble(H)
on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
are terrified at your collapse.’(I)
19 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths(J) over you and its vast waters cover you,(K) 20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit,(L) to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place[a] in the land of the living.(M) 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more.(N) You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign Lord.”(O)

King James Version
Ezekiel 26:16-21
King James Version
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
19 For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God.
