Contextual Overview

²⁶ "But look! Your oarsmen have taken you into stormy seas! A mighty eastern gale has wrecked you in the heart of the sea! ²⁷ Everything is lost— your riches and wares, your sailors and pilots, your ship builders, merchants, and warriors. On the day of your ruin, everyone on board sinks into the depths of the sea. ²⁸ Your cities by the sea tremble as your pilots cry out in terror. ²⁹ All the oarsmen abandon their ships; the sailors and pilots stand on the shore. ³⁰ They cry aloud over you and weep bitterly. They throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes. ³¹ They shave their heads in grief for you and dress themselves in burlap. They weep for you with bitter anguish and deep mourning. ³² As they wail and mourn over you, they sing this sad funeral song: ‘Was there ever such a city as Tyre, now silent at the bottom of the sea? ³³ The merchandise you traded satisfied the desires of many nations. Kings at the ends of the earth were enriched by your trade. ³⁴ Now you are a wrecked ship, broken at the bottom of the sea. All your merchandise and crew have gone down with you. ³⁵ All who live along the coastlands are appalled at your terrible fate. Their kings are filled with horror and look on with twisted faces.

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.
