Contextual Overview

²⁶ and sailing across the sea, but you were wrecked by strong eastern winds. ²⁷ Everything on board was lost— your valuable cargo, your sailors and carpenters, merchants and soldiers. ²⁸ The shouts of your drowning crew were heard on the shore. ²⁹ Every ship is deserted; rowers and sailors and captains all stand on shore, ³⁰ mourning for you. They show their sorrow by putting dust on their heads and rolling in ashes; ³¹ they shave their heads and dress in sackcloth as they cry in despair. ³² In their grief they sing a funeral song for you: "Tyre, you were greater than all other cities. But now you lie in silence at the bottom of the sea. ³³ "Nations that received your merchandise were always pleased; kings everywhere got rich from your costly goods. ³⁴ But now you are wrecked in the deep sea, with your cargo and crew scattered everywhere. ³⁵ People living along the coast are shocked at the news. Their rulers are horrified, and terror is written across their faces.

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.
