Context of Ezekiel 27:33

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. 32As they weep, they will sing this funeral song about you: ‘Tyre was the greatest city. But now it lies at the bottom of the sea and nobody knows that it is there.’ Your valuable things went to many people in nations across the sea. People were happy with the things that they received from you. Even kings in far places became rich because of you. 34Now the sea has broken you into pieces. You have fallen to the bottom of the deep sea. All your valuable things and the people who worked in you lie at the bottom of the sea. 35The people who live on the coast of the sea are afraid, because of what has happened to you. Their kings shake with fear. Their faces look very sad.

• 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
