16. The kings will step down from their thrones, then take off their royal robes and fine clothes, and sit on the ground, trembling. They will be so shocked at the news of your defeat that they will shake in fear
17. and sing this funeral song:“The great city beside the seais destroyed!Its people once ruled the coastand terrified everyone there.
18. But now Tyre is in ruins,and the people on the coaststare at it in horrorand tremble in fear.”
19. I, the Lord God, will turn you into a ghost town. The ocean depths will rise over you
20. and carry you down to the world of the dead, where you will join people of ancient times and towns ruined long ago. You will stay there and never again be a city filled with people.
21. You will die a horrible death! People will come looking for your city, but it will never be found. I, the Lord, have spoken.
