Context of Ezekiel 27:28
26Your sailors took you into the great waves of the sea. There, a strong east wind has caused you to break into small pieces. 27All your valuable things and your riches will fall into the deep sea. All your sailors, your captains, your traders and your soldiers will also fall into the sea. Yes, everyone in you will drown in the sea on that day when you break into pieces. When your sailors call out for help, the cities on the coast of the sea will shake. 29All the sailors of other ships will leave their ships. The sailors and their captains will stand on the shore of the sea. 30They will weep loudly because they are very upset about you. They will throw dirt on their heads. They will lie down in ashes.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 27:28
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28The 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.Read the comment

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
