26:17 They will sing this lament over you: ² 

“‘How you have perished – you have vanished ³  from the seas,

O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,

she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ⁴ 

Ezekiel 32:12

all of them are the most terrifying among the nations.

They will devastate the pride of Egypt,

and all its hordes will be destroyed.

¹ tn Heb “deal with” or “work with.”

² tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”

³ tn Heb “O inhabitant.” The translation follows the LXX and understands a different Hebrew verb, meaning “cease,” behind the consonantal text. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 2:72, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:43.

⁴ tn Heb “she and her inhabitants who placed their terror to all her inhabitants.” The relationship of the final prepositional phrase to what precedes is unclear. The preposition probably has a specifying function here, drawing attention to Tyre’s inhabitants as the source of the terror mentioned prior to this. In this case, one might paraphrase verse 17b: “she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror; yes, her inhabitants (were the source of this terror).”
