Contextual Overview

26 Your rowers made you come into great waters, the east wind has broken you in the heart of the seas. 27 Your wealth and your wares and your goods, your seamen and your sailors making strong your seams, and the traders of your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, and all yourassembly in your midst, shall fall into theheart of the seas in the day of your ruin. 28 At the sound of the cry of your sailors the pasture lands will shake. 29 And all who handle the oar shall come down from their ships, the seamen, all the sailors of the sea. They shall stand on the land, 30 and will make heard their voice against you, and will cry bitterly, and will cause dust to go up on their heads; they will wallow in the ashes. 31 And they shall be bald for you and gird with sackcloth; and they shall weep for you with bitterness of soul, a bitter wailing. 32 And in their wailing they shall lift up a lamentation and lament over you, saying , Who is like Tyre, as one silenced in the midst of the sea? 33 When your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples. With the plenty of your riches and your goods, you enriched the kings of the earth. 34 At this time you are broken from the seas. By the depths of the waters your goods and all your assembly have fallen in your midst. 35 All those living in the coastlands are appalled at you, and their kings are shivering in the tempest; their faces tremble.

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.
