THE MESSAGE
"‘As you crisscrossed the seas with your products, you satisfied many peoples. Your worldwide trade made earth's kings rich. And now you're battered to bits by the waves, sunk to the bottom of the sea, And everything you've bought and sold has sunk to the bottom with you. Everyone on shore looks on in terror. The hair of kings stands on end, their faces drawn and haggard! The buyers and sellers of the world throw up their hands: This horror can't happen! Oh, this has happened!'"

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

When thy wares went forth out of the seas,.... When they were took out of ships, which came to Tyre from all parts, and were landed on the shore, and put up in warehouses, and exposed in markets and The Targum is,

"when thy merchandise went out from among the nations;''

being brought from all parts thither:

thou filledst many people; by selling them in their markets commodities they wanted, for which they came from all quarters; and by sending them to others in ships, where they knew they stood in need of them, and would fetch them a good price; and they had enough to answer the demands of all, and to supply them to the full:

thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and pithy merchandise; by taking off the goods of their subjects, whereby they were able the better to pay their taxes, and support them in their grandeur and dignity; as well as by furnishing them gold and silver, and precious stones, which they gave for the produce of their country; or by the toll and custom of the goods imported or exported.
