Ezekiel 26:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Thus says Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Shall not the (A)coastlands (B)shake at the sound of your downfall when the wounded groan, when the killing occurs in your midst? 16 Then all the princes of the sea will (C)go down from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will (D)clothe themselves with [a]trembling; they will sit on the ground, (E)tremble every moment, and be appalled at you. 17 They will take up a (F)lamentation over you and say to you,
‘(G)How you have perished, O inhabited one,
From the seas, O city that was praised,
Which was (H)strong on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who [b]imposed [c]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 dismayed at your (J)departure.’”

A lament for Tyre
15 The Lord God proclaims to Tyre: Won’t the coastlands quake at the news of your downfall, when the wounded groan, and when the slaughter in your midst goes on and on? 16 All the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, remove their royal robes, and strip off their fine garments. They will be clothed only in terror as they sit on the ground. They will be so terrified, they won’t stop shuddering because of you. 17 They will sing a lament for you, and they will say:
How you have perished, queen of the sea,
city once praised,
who once dominated the sea,
she and her rulers,
who spread their terror abroad,
every one of them.
18 Now the wastelands tremble on the day of your fall.
Your expulsion horrifies the islands of the sea.
