Contextual Overview

²⁶ Your oarsmen rowed you far out to sea. But a powerful east wind will destroy your ship at sea. ²⁷ All your wealth will spill into the sea. Your wealth—the things you buy and sell—will spill into the sea. Your whole crew—sailors, pilots, and the men who put caulking between the boards on your ship— will spill into the sea. The merchants and soldiers in your city will all sink into the sea. That will happen on the day that you are destroyed! ²⁸ "‘You send your merchants to faraway places. Those places will shake with fear when they hear your pilots' cry! ²⁹ Your whole crew will jump ship. The sailors and pilots will jump ship and swim to the shore. ³⁰ They will be very sad about you. They will cry, throw dust on their heads, and roll in ashes. ³¹ They will shave their heads for you. They will put on sackcloth. They will cry for you like someone crying for someone who died. ³² "‘And in their loud crying they will sing this sad song about you: "‘No one is like Tyre! Tyre is destroyed, in the middle of the sea! ³³ Your merchants sailed across the seas. You satisfied many people with your great wealth and the things you sold. You made the kings of the earth rich! ³⁴ But now you are broken by the seas and by the deep waters. All the things you sell and all your people have fallen. ³⁵ All the people living on the coast are shocked about you. Their kings are terrified. Their faces show their shock.

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.
