Contextual Overview

26"Your rowers have brought you Into great and deep waters; The east wind has broken and shipwrecked you In the heart of the seas. 27"Your riches, your wares, your merchandise Your oarsmen and your pilots, Your caulkers, your dealers in merchandise, And all your men of war who are with you, With all your company that is in your midst, Will sink in the heart of the seas On the day of your ruin. 28"The pasture lands and the countryside will shake At the [piercing] sound of the [hopeless, wailing] cry of your pilots. 29"All who handle the oar, The mariners and all the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships; They will stand on the shore, 30And they will make their voice heard [as they wail loudly] over you And they will cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads; They will wallow in ashes. 31"And they will make themselves [completely] bald for you And wrap themselves in sackcloth; And in bitterness of soul they will weep for you With bitter mourning and wailing. 32"In their wailing they will take up a dirge (funeral poem to be sung) for you And sing a dirge for you: 'Who is like Tyre, Like her who is silent [destroyed] in the midst of the sea? 33'When your wares went out to the sea, You met the desire, and the demand, and the necessities of many people; You enriched the kings of the earth With your abundant wealth and merchandise. 34'Now you are shattered by the seas In the depths of the waters; Your merchandise and all your crew Have gone down with you. 35'All the inhabitants of the coastlands Are aghast and appalled at you, And their kings are horribly frightened and shudder; Their faces twitch and pale.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee,.... As Tyre had done at Jerusalem, Ezekiel 26:2 as she hoped to make better markets upon the fall of Jerusalem, and therefore rejoiced at it; so these merchants upon her fall will hope that her trade will come into their hands, and therefore despise her, hiss, and laugh at her in her abject state. The Targum is,

"shall be astonished at thee;''

struck with wonder, and even with a stupor at her fall: "and thou shalt be a terror"; not only to thyself, but to kings and merchants, and to all the inhabitants of the isles, and to all that trade by sea; who will be struck with surprise and dread when they hear of thy destruction; see Revelation 18:9:

and never shall be any more; upon the same spot, and in the same grandeur and glory: some understand this only of a long time, as seventy years, when it was rebuilt; see Isaiah 23:15, it may respect its last destruction, since which it has not been, nor now is, or ever will be: this will be true of mystical Babylon, the antitype of Tyre,

Revelation 18:21.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 27:36. Shall hiss at thee — שרקו shareku, shall shriek for thee. This powerfully expresses the sensation made on the feelings of the spectators on the shore when they saw the vessel swallowed up.
