Ezekiel 27:32 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 27:32

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 ‘When^a 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.’ ” ’ ”
