Tell Tyre, gateway to the sea, merchant to the world, trader among the far-off islands, ‘This is what God , the Master, says: "‘You boast, Tyre: "I'm the perfect ship—stately, handsome." You ruled the high seas from a real beauty, crafted to perfection. Your planking came from Mount Hermon junipers. A Lebanon cedar supplied your mast. They made your oars from sturdy Bashan oaks. Cypress from Cyprus inlaid with ivory was used for the decks. Your sail and flag were of colorful embroidered linen from Egypt. Your purple deck awnings also came from Cyprus. Men of Sidon and Arvad pulled the oars. Your seasoned seamen, O Tyre, were the crew. Ship's carpenters were old salts from Byblos. All the ships of the sea and their sailors clustered around you to barter for your goods.

Cross-References
But he did not recognize Jacob, because Jacob's hands felt hairy just like Esau's. So Isaac prepared to bless Jacob.
Then Isaac said, "Now, my son, bring me the wild game. Let me eat it, and then I will give you my blessing." So Jacob took the food to his father, and Isaac ate it. He also drank the wine that Jacob served him.
Jacob was half blind because of his age and could hardly see. So Joseph brought the boys close to him, and Jacob kissed and embraced them.
One night Eli, who was almost blind by now, had gone to bed.
Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly.
"It was not because of his sins or his parents' sins," Jesus answered. "This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The dirge of Tyre written in poetical form. Tyre is compared to a fair vessel, to whose equipment the various nations of the world contribute, launching forth in majesty, to be wrecked and to perish. The nations enumerated point out Tyre as the center of commerce between the eastern and western world. This position, occupied for a short time by Jerusalem, was long maintained by Tyre, until the erection of Alexandria supplanted her in this traffic. Compare the dirge of Babylon Isaiah 14:3-23; in each case the city named represents the world-power antagonistic to God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXVII
This chapter may be considered as the second part of the
prophecy concerning Tyre. The prophet pursues his subject in
the manner of those ancient lamentations or funeral songs, in
which the praeficiae or mourning women first recounted whatever
was great or praiseworthy in the deceased, and then mourned his
fall. Here the riches, glory, and extensive commerce of Tyre
are enlarged upon, 1-25.
Her downfall is then described in a beautiful allegory,
executed in a few words, with astonishing brevity, propriety,
and perspicuity, 26;
upon which all the maritime and commercial world are
represented as grieved and astonished at her fate, and greatly
alarmed for their own, 27-36.
Besides the view which this chapter gives of the conduct of
Providence, and the example with which it furnishes the critic
and men of taste of a very elegant and highly finished piece of
composition, it likewise affords the antiquary a very curious
and interesting account of the wealth and commerce of ancient
times. And to the mind that looks for "a city that hath
foundations," what a picture does the whole present of the
mutability and inanity of all earthly things! Many of the
places mentioned in ancient history have, like Tyre, long ago
lost their political consequence; the geographical situation of
others cannot be traced; they have sunk in the deep waters of
oblivion; the east wind hath carried them away.
