17. They will sing this lament over you:“‘How you have perished – you have vanished from the seas,O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror!
18. Now the coastlands will tremble on the day of your fall; the coastlands by the sea will be terrified by your passing.’
19. “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: When I make you desolate like the uninhabited cities, when I bring up the deep over you and the surging waters overwhelm you,
20. then I will bring you down to bygone people, to be with those who descend to the pit. I will make you live in the lower parts of the earth, among the primeval ruins, with those who descend to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited or stand in the land of the living.
21. I will bring terrors on you, and you will be no more! Though you are sought after, you will never be found again, declares the sovereign Lord.”
