The Lord GOD says this to Tyre: "Will the ^(C1)coastlands not ^(C2)shake from the sound of your downfall when the wounded groan, when the slaughter takes place in your midst?

"Then all the princes of the sea will ^(C1)descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their colorfully woven garments. They will ^(C2)clothe themselves with ^(F1)trembling; they will sit on the ground, ^(C3)tremble again and again, and be appalled at you.

"And they will take up a ^(C1)song of mourning over you and say to you, '^(C2)How you have perished, you inhabited one, From the seas, you famous city, Which was ^(C3)mighty on the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who imposed ^(F1)her terror On all her inhabitants!

-'Now the ^(C1)coastlands will tremble On the day of your downfall; Yes, the coastlands which are by the sea Will be horrified at your ^(C2)passing.'"

For this is what the Lord GOD says: "When I make you a desolate city, like the cities which are not inhabited, when I ^(C1)bring up the deep over you and the great waters cover you,

then I will bring you down with those who ^(C1)go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you remain in the ^(C2)lower parts of the earth, like the ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, so that you will not ^(F1)be inhabited; but I will put ^(C3)glory in the land of the living.

"I will ^(F1)cause you ^(C1)sudden terrors and you will no longer exist; though you will be sought, ^(C2)you will never be found again," declares the Lord GOD.
