16 Then all the princes of the sea will (A)go down from their thrones, remove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will (B)clothe themselves with [a]trembling; they will sit on the ground, (C)tremble every moment and be appalled at you. 17 They will take up a (D)lamentation over you and say to you,

(E)How you have perished, O inhabited one,
From the seas, O renowned city,
Which was (F)mighty on the sea,
She and her inhabitants,
Who [b]imposed [c]her terror
On all her inhabitants!
18 ‘Now the (G)coastlands will tremble
On the day of your fall;
Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea
Will be terrified at your (H)passing.’”

“‘How you are destroyed, city of renown,
    peopled by men of the sea!
You were a power on the seas,
    you and your citizens;
you put your terror
    on all who lived there.(G)
18 Now the coastlands tremble(H)
    on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
    are terrified at your collapse.’(I)

16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!

18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
