Ezekiel 26:15-18
Expanded Bible
15 “This is what the Lord God says to Tyre: ·The people who live along the seacoast will [L Won’t the coastlands…?] ·shake with fear [tremble] ·when they hear about your defeat [or at the sound of your fall]. ·The injured will [L …when the wounded] groan as the ·killing [slaughter] takes place in you. 16 Then all the ·leaders [princes] of the ·seacoast [L sea] will get down from their thrones, take off their ·beautiful needlework [embroidered] clothes, and ·show how afraid they are [L clothe themselves with trembling]. They will sit on the ground and tremble ·all the time [continuously], ·shocked [appalled; aghast] when they see you. 17 They will begin singing a ·funeral song [lament; dirge] about you and will say to you:
‘Famous city [C Tyre was a great maritime power], you have been destroyed!
You have lost your sea power!
You and your ·people [inhabitants]
had great power on the seas.
You made everyone around you
afraid of you.
18 Now the ·people who live by the coast [coastlands will] tremble,
·now that [L on the day] you have fallen.
The ·islands [or coastlands] of the sea
are ·afraid [terrified; dismayed] ·because you have been defeated [at your demise/passing].’
Ezekiel 26:15-18
New American Standard Bible
15 The Lord God says this to Tyre: “Will the (A)coastlands not (B)shake from the sound of your downfall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter takes place in your midst? 16 Then all the princes of the sea will (C)descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their colorfully woven garments. They will (D)clothe themselves with [a]trembling; they will sit on the ground, (E)tremble again and again, and be appalled at you. 17 And they will take up a (F)song of mourning over you and say to you,
‘(G)How you have perished, you inhabited one,
From the seas, you famous city,
Which was (H)mighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who imposed [b]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
18 Now the (I)coastlands will tremble
On the day of your downfall;
Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
Will be horrified at your (J)passing.’”
