17 Then they will take up a lament concerning you and say to you:

“ ‘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.

18 Now the coastlands tremble

on the day of your fall;

the islands in the sea

are terrified at your collapse.’

17 And they will raise a lamentation over you and say to you,

“ ‘How you have perished,

you who were inhabited from the seas,

O city renowned,

who was mighty on the sea;

she and her inhabitants imposed their terror

on all her inhabitants!

18 Now the coastlands tremble

on the day of your fall,

and the coastlands that are on the sea

are dismayed at your passing.’

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.

17 Then they will wail for you, singing this funeral song:

“O famous island city,

once ruler of the sea,

how you have been destroyed!

Your people, with their naval power,

once spread fear around the world.

18 Now the coastlands tremble at your fall.

The islands are dismayed as you disappear.

17 And they will take up a lamentation for you, and say to you:

“How you have perished,

O one inhabited by seafaring men,

O renowned city,

Who was strong at sea,

She and her inhabitants,

Who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants!

18 Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall;

Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure.” ’

17 They will begin singing a funeral song about you and will say to you:

‘Tyre, you famous city, you have been destroyed!

You have lost your sea power!

You and your people

had great power on the seas.

You made everyone around you

afraid of you.

18 Now the people who live by the coast tremble,

now that you have fallen.

The islands of the sea

are afraid because you have been defeated.’

17 And they shall take up a lamentation over thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, that was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, that caused their terror to be on all that dwelt there! 18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be dismayed at thy departure.

17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How hast thou perished, that wast inhabited from the seas, O renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, —she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all them that dwell therein! 18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; and the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.

17 Then they will sing this funeral song for you: 

Tyre, you famous city, you have been destroyed. 

You have been shattered by the sea. 

You and your people ruled the sea. 

All your people terrified those who lived by the coast. 

18 Your defeat will make the people who live by the coast tremble. 

Your end will terrify the islands in the sea. 

17 Then they will lament for you and say of you:

How you have perished, city of renown,

you who were populated from the seas!

She who was powerful on the sea,

she and all of her inhabitants

inflicted their terror.

18 Now the coastlands tremble

on the day of your downfall;

the islands in the sea

are alarmed by your demise.”

17 And they shall raise a lamentation over you, and say to you:

How you have vanished from the seas,

O city renowned,

once mighty on the sea,

you and your inhabitants,

who imposed your terror

on all the mainland!

18 Now the coastlands tremble

on the day of your fall;

the coastlands by the sea

are dismayed at your passing.

17 And they will raise a lament over you, and they will say to you,

‘How you have been lost who was inhabited from the seas;

the city that was praised, that was strong.

It is located on the sea,

and its inhabitants imposed their terror on all of its inhabitants.

18 Now the coastlands will tremble

at the day of your downfall,

and the islands that are in the sea

will be horrified because of your departure.’ ”

17 “Then they will sing a song of sadness about you. They will say to you,

“ ‘Famous city, you have been completely destroyed!

You were filled with sea traders.

You and your citizens

were a mighty power on the seas.

You terrified everyone

who lived in you.

18 The lands along the coast trembled with fear

when you fell.

The islands in the sea

were terrified when you were destroyed.’ ”
