16 Then all the officials of the sea shall come down from their thrones and lay away their robes and take off their embroidered garments. They shall clothe themselves with trembling. They shall sit on the ground and tremble every moment and be astonished at you.
17 They shall take up a lamentation over you and say to you: How you are destroyed, O inhabited one of the seas,the renowned city,which was strong in the sea,she and her inhabitants,who caused her terrorto be on all her inhabitants!
18 Now the coastlands shall trembleon the day of your fall; indeed,the coastlands that are by the seashall be troubled at your departure.
19 For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep upon you and great waters shall cover you,
20 then I shall bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old, and make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit so that you will not be inhabited. But I shall set glory in the land of the living.
21 I will bring terrors on you and you shall be no more. Though you will be sought, you shall never be found again, says the Lord God.
