Elevarán una elegía por ti, y te dirán: "¡Cómo has perecido, habitada de los mares, la ciudad renombrada, que era poderosa en el mar! Ella y sus habitantes, infundían terror a todos sus vecinos.
Y levantarán sobre ti endechas, y te dirán: ¿Cómo pereciste tú, poblada por gente de mar, ciudad que fue alabada, que fue fuerte en el mar, ella y sus habitantes, que infundían terror a todos sus vecinos?
Y levantarán sobre ti endechas, y te dirán: ¿Cómo pereciste tú, poblada en los mares? Ciudad que fue alabada, que fue fuerte en el mar, ella y sus habitantes, que ponían su espanto a todos sus moradores.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say unto thee,.... The following mournful song:
how art thou destroyed that wast inhabited of seafaring men; or, "of the seas": by men who used the seas, and traded by sea to different parts of the world; and was frequented by persons that came by sea thither, by the great ocean, by the Red sea, the Mediterranean sea, and others; or, which was surrounded by the sea. So the Targum,
"that dwellest in the midst of the sea:''
"the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea"; fortified by the sea, and against it; strong in shipping and naval stores; so as to be formidable to others, and mistress of the sea. The Targum is,
"which dwell in the strength of the sea;''
and had the strength and riches of it brought unto it; and so was famous all the world over for its commerce, wealth, and power; but now ruined and undone:
she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! the sea; on all that used the seas; or on all the inhabitants of the islands of the sea; who all stood in fear of Tyre and her inhabitants, and were obliged to strike their sails to their ships.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The effect of the fall of Tyre.
Ezekiel 26:16
Clothe themselves with trembling - Mourners change their bright robes for sad garments.
Ezekiel 26:17
Of seafaring men - literally, âfrom the seas,â i. e., occupied by men who come from the seas. Tyre was an inhabited city rising from out of the sea.
Ezekiel 26:20
Compare Isaiah 14:9. The image used by Isaiah and Jeremiah of Babylon is by Ezekiel applied to Tyre, as if to show that Tyre and Babylon alike represent the world-power. So, in the Book of Revelation, Babylon is the kingdom of Antichrist.
The land of the living - The land of the true God, as opposed to the land of the dead, to which is gathered the glory of the world. Here then, together with the utter ruin of Tyre, rises the vision of renewed glory to Jerusalem. The coming Messiah is thus propheticly pointed out. The over-throw of Godâs enemies shall be accompanied by the establishment of His true kingdom.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 26:17. Wast strong in the sea — The strength of Tyre was so great, that Alexander despaired of being able to reduce it unless he could fill up that arm of the sea that ran between it and the main land. And this work cost his army seven months of labour.
