They shall clothe themselves with trembling and shall sit on the ground; they shall tremble every moment and be appalled at you.(A) 17 And they shall raise a lamentation over you and say to you:

“How you have vanished[a] from the seas,
    O city renowned,
once mighty on the sea,

the coastlands by the sea
    are dismayed at your passing.”(C)

    on the day of your fall;
the islands in the sea
    are terrified at your collapse.’(I)
