Context of Ezekiel 27:29
27Your wealth, merchandise, and goods, your sailors and captains, those who repair your leaks, those who barter for your goods, and all the warriors on board, with all the other people within you, sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall. 28“‘The countryside shakes at the sound of your sailors’ cries. All the oarsmen disembark from their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea stand on the shore. 30Because of you, they raise their voices and cry out bitterly. They throw dust on their heads; they roll in ashes. 31They shave their heads because of you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They weep over you with deep anguish and bitter mourning.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 27:29
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 29As Tyre is figured by a large vessel, so are the subject-states by smaller boats which accompany the great ship. These terrified by the storm approach the land. Tyre is hopelessly swallowed up, crew and all, in the midst of the sea. The small crafts escape to shore.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 26-36Verses 26-36 The most mighty and magnificent kingdoms and states, sooner or later, come down. Those who make creatures their confidence, and rest their hopes upon them, will fall with them: happy are those who have the God of Jacob for their Help, and whose hope is in the Lord their God, who lives for ever. Those who engage in trade should learn to conduct their business according to God's word. Those who possess wealth should remember they are the Lord's…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-36The second part of the prophet’s message to Tyre (see study note on Ezekiel 26:1–28:19) is a funeral song. The song compares Tyre’s past glory with its present loss. It connects with the previous chapter in several ways. Both speak directly to Tyre. Both describe Tyre as a gateway and a center of trade (see Ezekiel 26:1–2). Both end with the same message: Tyre has come to a terrible end and will exist no more (compare Ezekiel 26:21).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. So on the downfall of spiritual Babylon (Re 18:17, &c.). shall stand upon ... land--being cast out of their ships in which heretofore they prided themselves.Read the comment
