15 Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Shall not the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when slaughter goes on within you?(A) 16 Then all the princes of the sea shall step down from their thrones; they shall remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling and shall sit on the ground; they shall tremble every moment and be appalled at you.(B) 17 And they shall raise a lamentation over you and say to you:

“How you have vanished[a] from the seas,
    O city renowned,
once mighty on the sea,
    you and your inhabitants,[b]
who imposed your[c] terror
    on all the mainland![d](C)
18 Now the coastlands tremble
    on the day of your fall;
the coastlands by the sea
    are dismayed at your passing.”(D)

15 This is what the Lord God says to Tyre: “Won’t the coasts and islands quake at the sound of your downfall,(A) when the wounded groan and slaughter occurs within you? 16 All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones,(B) remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble continually, and be appalled(C) at you. 17 Then they will lament(D) for you and say of you,

‘How you have perished, city of renown,
you who were populated from the seas![a]
She who was powerful on the sea,
she and all of her inhabitants
inflicted their terror.[b]
18 Now the coastlands tremble(E)
on the day of your downfall;
the islands in the sea
are alarmed by your demise.’”
