Ezekiel 26:17

17 They will sing this lament over you: ^{▼▼tn Heb “and they will lift up over you a lament and they will say to you.”}
“‘How you have perished—you have vanished ^{▼▼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.} from the seas,
O renowned city, once mighty in the sea,
she and her inhabitants, who spread their terror! ^{▼▼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).”}
