Context of Ezekiel 27:29
27Your wealth, products, and merchandise, your sailors and captains, your ship’s carpenters, your merchants, and all your fighting men within you, along with all your crew who are in you, will fall into the heart of the seas on the day of your downfall. 28At the sound of your captains’ cry the waves will surge; They will descend from their ships – all who handle the oar, the sailors and all the sea captains – they will stand on the land. 30They will lament loudly over you and cry bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in the ashes; 31they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth, and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.

- 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.

- 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
