Contextual Overview

²⁶ The men who rowed you brought you out into the high seas, but the east wind broke you to pieces in the middle of the sea. ²⁷ Your wealth, your trade, your goods, your seamen, your sailors, your workers, your traders, your warriors, and everyone else on board sank into the sea on the day your ship was wrecked. ²⁸ The people on the shore shake with fear when your sailors cry out. ²⁹ All the men who row leave their ships; the seamen and the sailors of other ships stand on the shore. ³⁰ They cry loudly about you; they cry very much. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes to show they are sad. ³¹ They shave their heads for you, and they put on rough cloth to show they are upset. They cry and sob for you; they cry loudly. ³² And in their loud crying they sing a funeral song for you: "No one was ever destroyed like Tyre, surrounded by the sea." ³³ When the goods you traded went out over the seas, you met the needs of many nations. With your great wealth and goods, you made kings of the earth rich. ³⁴ But now you are broken by the sea and have sunk to the bottom. Your goods and all the people on board have gone down with you. ³⁵ All those who live along the shore are shocked by what happened to you. Their kings are terribly afraid, and their faces show their fear.

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.
