Contextual Overview

²⁶ Your rowers have brought you into surging waters. The east wind has wrecked you in the heart of the seas. ²⁷ Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains, your ship's carpenters, your merchants, and all your fighting men within you, along with all your crew who are in you, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall. ²⁸ At the sound of your captains' cry the waves will surge; ²⁹ They will descend from their ships—all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains—they will stand on the land. ³⁰ They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes; ³¹ they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning. ³² As they wail they will lament over you, chanting: "Who was like Tyre, like a tower in the midst of the sea?" ³³ When your products went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with the abundance of your wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth. ³⁴ Now you are wrecked by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your company have sunk along with you. ³⁵ All the inhabitants of the coastlands are shocked at you, and their kings are horribly afraid—their faces are troubled.

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.
