They will shake with fear all the time. They will be shocked when they see you. 17 They will begin singing a funeral song about you. They will say to you:

‘Tyre, you famous city, you have been destroyed!
    Once seamen lived in you.
You and your people
    had great power on the seas.

The islands of the sea
    will be afraid because you have been defeated.’
