Ezekiel 26:15-18
International Standard Version
Terror at Tyre’s Destruction
15 “This is what the Lord God says to Tyre: ‘When your wounded citizens groan while the slaughter takes place among you, the people who live in the coastlands will tremble in terror as they hear about your fall, will they not? 16 That’s when all the kings of the seafaring nations will abandon their thrones, strip off their fancy clothes, and collapse trembling on the ground. They’ll be so frightened as they observe what has happened to you that they’ll be unable to stop trembling. They will be utterly appalled at you! 17 They’ll sing this mourning song for you:
“How lost you are,
you inhabited city,
that was built in the middle of the sea!
How famous you were!
How strong on the sea!
She and her inhabitants
inflicted[a] terror to everyone
who lived within her.”
18 ‘Now the coastland inhabitants
will tremble on the day that you fall.
The coastland inhabitants,
who make their living from[b] the sea,
will be terrified when you pass away!’

Lexham English Bible
15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, at people being killed[a] in the midst of you? 16 And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their beautiful garments[b] of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble continually,[c] and they will be appalled over you. 17 And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you,
‘How you have been lost who was inhabited from[d] the seas;
the city that was praised, that was strong.
It is located on the sea,
and its inhabitants imposed their terror on all of its inhabitants.[e]
18 Now the coastlands will tremble
at the day of your downfall,
and the islands that are in the sea
will be horrified because of your departure.’”
