Ezekiel 26:15-18
Lexham English Bible
15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Tyre, “Will not the coastlands shake from the sound of your downfall, at the groaning of the wounded, at people being killed[a] in the midst of you? 16 And all the princes of the sea will go down from their thrones, and they will remove their robes, and their beautiful garments[b] of finished cloth they will take off. With terror they will be clothed, and on the ground they will sit, and they will tremble continually,[c] and they will be appalled over you. 17 And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you,
‘How you have been lost who was inhabited from[d] the seas;
the city that was praised, that was strong.
It is located on the sea,
and its inhabitants imposed their terror on all of its inhabitants.[e]
18 Now the coastlands will tremble
at the day of your downfall,
and the islands that are in the sea
will be horrified because of your departure.’”

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.
