Ezekiel 26:15-18
English Standard Version
15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not (A)the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, (B)when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? 16 Then all (C)the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and (D)remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; (E)they will sit on the ground and (F)tremble every moment and (G)be appalled at you. 17 And they will (H)raise a lamentation over you and say to you,
“‘How you have perished,
you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
(I)who was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants (J)imposed their terror
on all her inhabitants!
18 Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall,
and the coastlands that are on the sea
are dismayed at your passing.’
Ezekiel 26:15-18
New Living Translation
The Effect of Tyre’s Destruction
15 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Tyre: The whole coastline will tremble at the sound of your fall, as the screams of the wounded echo in the continuing slaughter. 16 All the seaport rulers will step down from their thrones and take off their royal robes and beautiful clothing. They will sit on the ground trembling with horror at your destruction. 17 Then they will wail for you, singing this funeral song:
“O famous island city,
once ruler of the sea,
how you have been destroyed!
Your people, with their naval power,
once spread fear around the world.
18 Now the coastlands tremble at your fall.
The islands are dismayed as you disappear.
