Context of Ezekiel 26:18
16Then the rulers of the towns on the coast of the sea will be very sad. They will no longer sit on their thrones. They will remove their beautiful royal clothes. They will sit on the ground as they shake with fear. They will not stop shaking when they hear what has happened to you. 17Then they will sing this funeral song about you: “City that was famous for your great sailors, now your power has gone! In the past, you made many people afraid, as your brave men travelled across the sea. Now you have fallen to the ground and people who live on the coast shake with fear. Now your power has gone and those people are very afraid.” 19This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will make you an empty place, like cities where nobody lives. The great waves of the sea will completely cover you. 20Then I will cause you to you to fall deep down into the earth. You will be part of the world of dead people who lived a long time ago. You will join other cities that became heaps of stones long ago. You will remain there. You will never again be a city in the world where people are alive.
