Contextual Overview

26 When your oarsmen brought you out to sea, An east wind wrecked you far from land. 27 All your wealth of merchandise, All the sailors in your crew, Your ship's carpenters and your merchants, Every soldier on board the ship— All, all were lost at sea When your ship was wrecked. 28 The shouts of the drowning sailors Echoed on the shore. 29 "Every ship is now deserted, And every sailor has gone ashore. 30 They all mourn bitterly for you, Throwing dust on their heads and rolling in ashes. 31 They shave their heads for you And dress themselves in sackcloth. Their hearts are bitter as they weep. 32 They chant a funeral song for you: ‘Who can be compared to Tyre, To Tyre now silent in the sea? 33 When your merchandise went overseas, You filled the needs of every nation. Kings were made rich By the wealth of your goods. 34 Now you are wrecked in the sea; You have sunk to the ocean depths. Your goods and all who worked for you Have vanished with you in the sea.' 35 "Everyone who lives along the coast is shocked at your fate. Even their kings are terrified, and fear is written on their faces.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea,.... Inferior officers, and the common people; though this may be literally understood of all sorts of seafaring people, differently employed in ships; some at the oar; some at the sails; and others at the helm; but all shall quit their posts,

and shall come down from their ships; either there being no further business for them, an entire stop being put to trade, through the fall of Tyre; or because of danger, and to save themselves, would leave the ship, and betake to their boats, and make for land: hence it follows,

they shall stand upon the land; upon the continent, being safely arrived; looking upon the shipwrecks, and bewailing the loss of Tyre, as in the next verse.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As Tyre is figured by a large vessel, so are the subject-states by smaller boats which accompany the great ship. These terrified by the storm approach the land. Tyre is hopelessly swallowed up, crew and all, in the midst of the sea. The small crafts escape to shore.
