Ezekiel 26:15-18
English Standard Version
15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not (A)the coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, (B)when the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? 16 Then all (C)the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and (D)remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; (E)they will sit on the ground and (F)tremble every moment and (G)be appalled at you. 17 And they will (H)raise a lamentation over you and say to you,
“‘How you have perished,
you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
(I)who was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants (J)imposed their terror
on all her inhabitants!
18 Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall,
and the coastlands that are on the sea
are dismayed at your passing.’
Ezekiel 26:15-18
Common English Bible
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.
