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. 28When your sailors call out for help, the cities on the coast of the sea will shake. All 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. 31They will cut all the hair off their heads. They will wear sackcloth. They will weep and be very upset because of the terrible thing that has happened to you.

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
