Ezekiel 26:15-18
World English Bible
15 “The Lord Yahweh says to Tyre: ‘Won’t the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you? 16 Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you. 17 They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you,
“How you are destroyed,
who were inhabited by seafaring men,
the renowned city,
who was strong in the sea,
she and her inhabitants,
who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
18 Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall.
Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’
Ezekiel 26:15-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.”
