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.’”

Ezekiel 26:15-18
American Standard Version
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? 16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with [a]trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble every moment, and be astonished at thee. 17 And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited [b]by seafaring men, the renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, that caused their terror to be on all that [c]dwelt there! 18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure.
