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.’”

New King James Version
15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not (A)shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you? 16 Then all the (B)princes of the sea will (C)come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; (D)they will sit on the ground, (E)tremble every moment, and (F)be astonished at you. 17 And they will take up a (G)lamentation for you, and say to you:
“How you have perished,
O one inhabited by seafaring men,
O renowned city,
Who was (H)strong at sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants!
18 Now (I)the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall;
Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure.” ’
