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.’

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!’
