Ezekiel 27:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 27:25

23 ^aHaran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of ^bSheba, Assyria, and Chilmad were your merchants.

24 These were your merchants in choice items—in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace.

25 “The ^aships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise.
You were filled and very glorious ^bin the midst of the seas.

26 Your oarsmen brought you into many waters,
But ^athe east wind broke you in the midst of the seas.

27 “Your ^ariches, wares, and merchandise,
Your mariners and pilots,
Your caulkers and merchandisers,
All your men of war who are in you,
And the entire company which is in your midst,
Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin.

28 The ^acommon-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots.

29 “All ^awho handle the oar,
The mariners,
All the pilots of the sea
Will come down from their ships and stand on the¹ shore.

30 They will make their voice heard because of you;
They will cry bitterly and ^acast dust on their heads;
They ^bwill roll about in ashes;

31 They will ^ashave themselves completely bald because of you,
Gird themselves with sackcloth,
And weep for you
With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.

32 In their wailing for you
They will ^atake up a lamentation,
And lament for you:
^b‘What city is like Tyre,
Destroyed in the midst of the sea?
