¹⁷ They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, “How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”

KJVAnd they shall take up^H5375^(H8804) a lamentation^H7015 for thee, and say^H559^(H8804) to thee, How art thou destroyed^H6^(H8804), that wast inhabited^H3427^(H8737) of seafaring men^H3220, the renowned^H1984^(H8794) city^H5892, which wast strong^H2389 in the sea^H3220, she and her inhabitants^H3427^(H8802), which cause^H5414^(H8804) their terror^H2851 to be on all that haunt^H3427^(H8802) it!

¹⁸ Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’

KJVNow shall the isles^H339 tremble^H2729^(H8799) in the day^H3117 of thy fall^H4658; yea, the isles^H339 that are in the sea^H3220 shall be troubled^H926^(H8738) at thy departure^H3318^(H8800).

¹⁹ “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you,

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; When I shall make^H5414^(H8800) thee a desolate^H2717^(H8737) city^H5892, like the cities^H5892 that are not inhabited^H3427^(H8738); when I shall bring up^H5927^(H8687) the deep^H8415 upon thee, and great^H7227 waters^H4325 shall cover^H3680^(H8765) thee;

²⁰ then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.

KJVWhen I shall bring thee down^H3381^(H8689) with them that descend^H3381^(H8802) into the pit^H953, with the people^H5971 of old time^H5769, and shall set^H3427^(H8689) thee in the low parts^H8482 of the earth^H776, in places desolate^H2723 of old^H5769, with them that go down^H3381^(H8802) to the pit^H953, that thou be not inhabited^H3427^(H8799); and I shall set^H5414^(H8804) glory^H6643 in the land^H776 of the living^H2416;

²¹ I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

KJVI will make^H5414^(H8799) thee a terror^H1091, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for^H1245^(H8792), yet shalt thou never^H5769 be found^H4672^(H8735) again, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.
