Ezekiel 27:26
Compare all
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? 
33 ‘Whena your wares went out by sea,
You satisfied many people;
You enriched the kings of the earth
With your many luxury goods and your merchandise. 
34 But ayou are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;
bYour merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst. 
35 aAll the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;
Their kings will be greatly afraid,
And their countenance will be troubled. 
36 The merchants among the peoples awill hiss at you;
bYou will become a horror, and be no cmore forever.’ ” ’ ”

Ezekiel 27:26

In contrast to her previous greatness, her downfall is here, by a sudden transition, depicted under the image of a vessel foundering at sea.

east wind—blowing from Lebanon, the most violent wind in the Mediterranean (Psalms 48:7). A Levanter, as it is called. Nebuchadnezzar is meant. The "sea" is the war with him which the "rowers," or rulers of the state vessel, had "brought" it into, to its ruin.
