And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
Ver. 17. And they shall take up a lamentation.] The like shall be done shortly at Rome. Rev 18:9
That wast inhabited of seafaring men.] Who are usually the worst of men, whence the proverb, Maritimi mores, &c.
On all that haunt it.] Haunt the sea, littorales qui sunt fere duri, horridi, immanes, latrociniis dediti, feri et inhospitales, tales olim Britanni.
