Ezekiel 26:15-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵The Lord God says this to Tyre: “Will the ^(A)coastlands not ^(B)shake from the sound of your downfall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter takes place in your midst? ¹⁶Then all the princes of the sea will ^(C)descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their colorfully woven garments. They will ^(D)clothe themselves with ^[a]trembling; they will sit on the ground, ^(E)tremble again and again, and be appalled at you. ¹⁷And they will take up a ^(F)song of mourning over you and say to you,

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

¹⁹For this is what the Lord God says: “When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I ^(K)bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you, ²⁰then I will bring you down with those who ^(L)go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you remain in the ^(M)lower parts of the earth, like the ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not ^[c]be inhabited; but I will put ^(N)glory in the land of the living. ²¹I will ^[d]cause you ^(O)sudden terrors and you will no longer exist; though you will be sought, ^(P)you will never be found again,” declares the Lord God.
