They shall clothe themselves with trembling and shall sit on the ground; they shall tremble every moment and be appalled at you.(A) 17 And they shall raise a lamentation over you and say to you:

“How you have vanished[a] from the seas,
    O city renowned,
once mighty on the sea,
    you and your inhabitants,[b]
who imposed your[c] terror
    on all the mainland![d](B)

    on the day of your fall;
the coastlands by the sea
    are dismayed at your passing.”(C)
