Contextual Overview

²⁶Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea. ²⁷Your wealth, wares, and goods, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall. ²⁸The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.²⁹All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore. ³⁰They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes. ³¹They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning. ³²As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea? ³³When your merchandise went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and goods. ³⁴Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your goods and the people among you have gone down with you. ³⁵All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. Or governors, as the Targum; and so the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions: the allegory of a ship wrecked is still continued: the sense is, that such should be the cry of the principal men of the city when it should be taken, that the noise of it would be heard upon the continent, and in the towns and villages belonging to Tyre, which would make the inhabitants of them tremble: or,

at the sound of the cry of thy pilots the waves are moved, or "tremble" g; which beat very strong at the time of her fall into the sea.

g ירעשו מגרשות "commoti sunt fluctus jactni", Junius Tremellius "contremiscent fluctus", Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The suburbs - Or, “precincts.” Tyre rose from the midst of the sea; her “precincts” were the surrounding waters and the adjoining coasts.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 27:28. The cry of thy pilots. — When the ship was dashed against the rocks by the violence of the winds and the waves, and all hope of life was taken away, then a universal cry was set up by all on board. I have heard this cry, and nothing more dismal can be imagined, when the ship by a violent tempest is driving among rocks on a lee shore. Then "All lost! cut away the boat!" is more dreadful than the cry of fire at midnight.
